• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I take this early opportunity to wish you very well in your campaigns to become the next Governor of Laikipia County. Laikipia County needs a Kenyan and a patriot of the know-how, the experience, the commitment and the passion that you have. I pray that the people of Laikipia see the qualities we see in you when you are leading this House and give you the opportunity to serve in that executive position so that you can transform that amazing county to be what it was meant to be—a beautiful seat of ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I strongly support this Motion by the Committee on Delegated Legislation as presented by Hon. Kamket, that, we annul in entirety the Regulations which form the Biashara Fund and throw out the revocations of the Uwezo Fund, the Women Enterprise Fund and the Youth Enterprise Development Fund. view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: The gracious lady who is seated on the Speaker’s seat at the moment agrees with me that I am totally associated with the matters that have been presented to this House today. While I was in the youth movement, I was intricately and intimately involved in the formation of the Youth Enterprise Development Fund. When we presented ourselves to the Principal Secretary, Mr. Murugu, back then, we were very clear in our mind on what needed to happen. Our entire youth movement was geared towards getting three things. At that time, we clamoured for a youth ministry, youth representation and ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: I support the annulment of these Regulations on three grounds. One, we, who are seated in this House, understand the important role of oversight that is played by the Member of Parliament in the administration of these funds. Members of Parliament do not want to be the executive administrators of these funds. They need to lobby for these funds and ultimately oversee them. view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Secondly, we needed the Youth Enterprise Development Fund because we knew that there are people who cannot access credit because of their backgrounds. The women, who are disenfranchised and unable to bank in commercial banks, and the young people, who cannot get credit because they do not have collateral, had found a landing base in these affirmative action funds. When the Head of State delivered the State of the Nation Address, his intention of collapsing the Funds into the Biashara Fund was a good idea. However, how they were collapsed into a commercial entity negates the very essence of why ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: The third reason why I support the Motion, which is very important, is that the recommendations are unconstitutional. The Constitution requires that we do sufficient public participation before we pass anything for this country. On that count alone, the Regulations do not stand the test of constitutionality. The long and short of it is that the intent of collapsing the three Funds into one administrative unit is right. However, if we go about the business in the way it has been proposed, our people will lose in a big way. view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: I support the annulment in entirety of these Regulations and the formation of the Biashara Fund as proposed by these Regulations. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 5 Jan 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I would like to withdraw this amendment for the reason that it should have been preceded by earlier amendments I brought proposing that we upgrade the Office of the Registrar from being an individual desk and two assistants who appear as desk officers at the Attorney General’s Office. I wanted us to replace that with a board because the matters that are being handled by the Registrar of Political Parties today are enough to be handled by an entire commission. Since my earlier amendments were not approved by the Speaker for consideration on the Floor, Section ... view
• 5 Jan 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by inserting the following new clauses immediately after Clause 21— Repeal of section 36 of No.11 of 2011. 21A.
