• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am also looking at that particular law which shows the five qualifications for appointment of the Chairperson. It talks about knowledge and at least 10 years’ experience in matters relating to different fields. The Act goes on to list them. It does not indicate that you start acquiring this experience after getting a degree. There are people who are in school and acquiring a degree even today. Some of them are old and are in this House. If we reduce this experience to the time after you get the degree, we may have lost it ... view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I have been following Hon. Njomo very keenly. He has stood for the people in socialism at one time. He is a great guy. However, his oscillation from one side to the other side of capitalism by gagging other people to invest into the banking sector shows inconsistency. view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I withdraw. I am guided, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Thank you. view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I want to say that the collapse of banks has nothing to do with the capital base. We have seen even big banks go under. That should not be used as an excuse to gag other players in the banking sector. Since independence, banking was monopolistic and later on an oligopolistic market for a long time. If we or the parliamentarians preceding us were making such laws, the likes of Equity Bank, which has helped the poor in this country, would have not come up. view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Therefore, I wish to oppose this amendment in the strongest terms. view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I support this Report. It has good nominees, namely, the Chairlady, the likes of Yuda Komora, who is even well-known and Dalmas Otieno who is a very seasoned negotiator. I also wish to assert that I welcome an amendment which is about to be introduced to also include Madam Peris Nelly Ashubwe, as a member of this Commission. The President had looked into these nominations very keenly and had taken into account the issue of ethnic and regional balance and gender. Unfortunately, the Committee which did a quasi-good job disapproved a ... view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I want to indicate that the information that was brought to the House by Members, that she did not apply to be part of this Commission, was false. The Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) was asked to nominate a member to this Commission. In the first incidence, the Chair should have told the House, COTU carried out an interview and nominated Mr. Matiang’i from the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT). When we changed the law and said that this Commission will be permanent, that particular individual declined. Therefore, I want to inform the House that COTU was forced ... view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I also want to bring to the attention of the House that TUCK mentioned a statement about this nominee, Ms. Ashubwe. A letter, which talks about that, is in the House. It will be presented before us. Through its Secretary-General, Hon. Wilson Sossion, conferred and agreed with COTU that this should be the nominee of the trade unions in Kenya. I talk authoritatively as a person who comes from that particular background. The communication we have been given about the Petition that complains about Ms. Ashubwe was communicated by the Chair of TUCK. In the understanding of the ... view
