• 18 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: I wish to know who these investors are. Are they the investors who we sometimes see involved in money laundering? Are these the people we normally see involved in banking fraud or carrying money in their bags? You must understand that half of business people in this country especially those living in the eastern part of this town, normally keep their money in their homes where they dig some holes. I would have wished to know whether by giving this name it will make those people remove their money from those holes they dig in their houses and take it ... view
• 18 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: The word “ Takaful” must be properly explained just like what my colleague has said. Unless, we make an amendment so that we can have the proper English word for it, we cannot obviously legislate for a certain kind of dialect in this country, just for the sake of attracting investors. We need to relook at that word so that we do not mess the insurance industry. view
• 18 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support with amendments. view
• 13 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 13 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. The Temporary Deputy Speaker, you will excuse me so that somebody else can contribute. view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I thank you for allowing me to speak when you want. I wish to support this Bill given that its Mover gave a comprehensive explanation as to why he wanted to create the body that will be dealing with matters of directors of parastatals. The major intention of creating those parastatals was based on genuine reasons. At that particular moment, we only had ministries which were running the affairs of the Government. With time, they realised that those particular ministries also had several departments that needed to be dealt with independently. That was because ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: that people brought to them. The appointment of board of directors was a big blunder. With the creation of those parastatals, the first issue would have been the regulations which were meant to be put in place so that when we are making appointments of directors, we do it diligently and with proper qualifications so that we have the right directors in those boards. One of my colleagues spoke about the board of directors in most of private companies and private banks. Those institutions pick the most qualified directors to run those private banks and companies. Unless under peculiar circumstances, ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Okay. view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It is very important that we create this training institution where directors will belong. It is also important that we look for ways of making parastatals work properly for this country. That way, they will benefit farmers and people in other sectors where each parastatal serves. We must also ensure that the regulations that are used in appointing directors are made clear so that even if one is to be appointed politically, we can have people who are qualified to run parastatals. Another issue that a member touched lightly is that State parastatals have ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: CEO of every State parastatal and the head of every ministry. People should be ashamed. Kenya belongs to all of us. I do not support the thinking that “because the Government is ours, it is our time to eat”. The other day somebody was quoted saying in public, “Sisi tunakula nyama, nyinyi munamezemate. ” The “ nyama ” that people are eating belongs to this country, and not an individual. It does not belong to one community but it belongs to the whole country. The “ nyama ” that people are talking about is paid for by this country’s taxpayers. ... view
