• 2 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: We also felt that the EACC should also come in and ensure that all the matters that we have here are looked into seriously. view
• 2 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: We also recommended that Eng. Kamau, the suspended Cabinet Secretary, should be held individually responsible for his failure of not following through and ensuring that a deed of settlement is entered between KAA and the World Duty Free Limited. He was the Accounting Officer in that Ministry and should have stopped the process which was flawed from the initial stages before the taxpayer lost a lot of money. He is the person who was supposed to protect the interests of the public in that particular institution. So, we felt that he should be held responsible, answerable and accountable to this ... view
• 2 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, we have also recommended that the Attorney-General should take over, as a matter of national interest. He should take over all the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) duty-free cases that were being handled by the external legal team and ensure that an agreement is reached between KAA and World Duty Free (WDF) as quickly as possible, and in an amicable manner. That way, he will be protecting public interest. In this particular case, we were also looking at how the issue of National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) was handled. Until the time when this Committee intervened, the ... view
• 2 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish to end by saying that the reports that we normally table in this House must not gather dust in the shelves. EACC must take serious action. We now have a new man at the helm of EACC; that is the Archbishop. During the vetting process, some of us expressed total encouragement. We felt that the retired Archbishop was better placed to head that institution. We saw him as the last resort in terms of reviving that office. Therefore, we are calling upon him to ensure that he takes up these matters and save the situation ... view
• 2 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also wish to support this Adjournment Motion. I know most of the Members are in the villages, their constituencies and some in their counties. Most of us are contesting for the same positions we have, others are going higher above like gubernatorial positions. I know how tough those positions are. Most of the Members are really out there. I wish to thank this House for most of the activities we have had during this Session on most of the Bills that will go down the history as affecting the lives of our citizens. The ... view
• 2 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: I am one of those people who would wish to have some free time not purely tied to the activities of the House, so that I can attend to activities that I have in my constituency. Remember for those of us who come from marginalized counties, and on this, I must thank the National Treasury – although they released the money late. If they released the money on time, especially the money for the Equalization Fund, we would really appreciate. My constituency is one of the beneficiaries, among the many other constituencies in the 14 counties. This is the best ... view
• 23 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also wish to make my contribution on these reports submitted by the President of the Republic of Kenya. In these reports, there are areas which the President has elaborated on matters which touch on national security. We understand that immediately the Jubilee Government took over the presidency, this country faced a lot of challenges, especially on matters of security. We all agree that the nation was at crossroads particularly on matters of terrorism. We understand that the President made efforts to curb terrorism. Although today, the rate of attacks has gone down, we must ... view
• 23 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: to date, their whereabouts are unknown. It is important that our country seriously invests in security and especially external aggression so that we can be safe. The killing of our soldiers in Somalia was our saddest moment. It was the saddest thing to happen to our soldiers. I keep thinking that our country should review our stay in Somalia so that we can secure our borders. We should make our borders safe. When you look at how our young men died, you realise that we have outlived our usefulness in Somalia. This Government has also dealt with other radicalised groups ... view
• 21 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also wish to add my voice to this Bill. This is a very important Bill which will address the question of SACCOs in this country. Banks normally have their own regulations which control their borrowings and deposits. It is also good The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 21 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: to have other institutions like SACCOs to join this sector, so that they can help people. There are so many areas in this country where we cannot access banks and people can access SACCOs easily. I support the Bill knowing very well that the regulations in it will bring a difference in SACCOs, shylocks, pyramid schemes and private SACCOs, which have been fleecing depositors who participate in the institutions. I thank the drafter of the Bill. This is the kind of law that will ensure that the activities of SACCOs, whether it is in the village or not, are at ... view
