• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you once again, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance. I also wish to support this particular Bill which is intended to bring sanity to some products which are bringing chaos in the country. Before I even delve into that, I would wish to congratulate the Chairman although there are some few issues which he failed to look into seriously. Some Members of this House from Central Province are complaining majorly about the killer brews which are not as a result of some of the factories that we have in the country, but as a result of ... view
• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: plant maize, their production died. Maize died and they could not plant it anymore. Most of the people resorted to planting sorghum thinking that maybe they will have some market somewhere. Because of overtaxing, the market which used to be there was closed. Secondly, you know these drinks, Keg and Senator, were largely consumed by small persons, that is, those people whose earnings are so meagre. These are the people who when this drink--- view
• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: The Senator drink was named after President Obama when he came to this country as a Senator. The drink was re-branded. view
• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: It is not. I cannot say that it is consumed by the Members of that House but it is a brand name for that drink. It was made from sorghum. When this drink was overtaxed, the people who used to drink it went to the second generation drinks. That is what is killing our people right now. They went to the cheaper illicit brews. These are the people who used to drink these Keg and Senator drinks. We should relook at overtaxing these drinks because of these two issues: The farmers and the people who were forced to go and ... view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I just wanted to say that I support, but there is one more issue: I do not know whether this matter is legal or illegal because HELB also sponsors college students currently. When we only talk of university and we are not mentioning college students, I do not know how that one can come in. In this one of having one of the students from private universities, you know the kind of admissions that we have right now. Most students are locked out. Students who have grade “A” are admitted to do Bachelor of Arts degree ... view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is a very important amendment to this Bill given the fact that many students have been suffering especially those who are--- view

• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: The most important amendment was on the under 18 who have had a serious problem in getting these loans. We have students who join universities when they are not yet 18 years old and normally, they do not get these loans. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I thank the Mover for this particular amendment. view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to contribute. From the outset, I wish to state that I support the amendment by Hon. Kaluma. I would like to say that this amendment is not removing what is in the Constitution but adding teeth to it. Article 94(5) of the Constitution states: “No person or body, other than Parliament, has the power to make provision having the force of law in Kenya except under authority conferred by this Constitution or by legislation.” This part alone clearly states that it is only this House, the Senate and the county assemblies ... view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: The Hon. Member made a proposal to amend this part so that this House, in its duty of making the law, oversight and representation is given serious protection either from within or without. Many a times, many people have been rushing to courts to stop this House from doing some serious legislation. It is on that particular point that Hon. Kaluma has made his registration known. He has registered his concerns that this House must be respected because it has separate powers from the Judiciary. We must understand the separation of powers. It allows this House to make laws, the ... view
