• 12 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: I want to plead with all of us who are responsible accounting officers to start being careful about our expenditure and talk to the counties. We give them money even from the Fuel Levy Fund of Kshs8.9 billion to maintain our roads by putting murram yet they do not. The Members of Parliament will tell you that the rural roads murram is from the Kenya Rural Roads Authority money which comes from the national Government. We do not know where the county money goes. What is wrong with our governors? Who has bewitched this country? Is it that we are ... view
• 12 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: When devolution started in 2013, it was very popular. In fact, even the whole country wanted the NG-CDF to be stopped because they thought it had lost relevance as a result of the devolved system. But today, one of the most popular funds in this country is the NG-CDF because people have compared it with the devolved units which are not performing. People have started saying that health should go back to the national Government because our counties are not doing what they are supposed to. I want to plead with our governors for heaven’s sake, even before the Director ... view
• 12 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I second. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Even though the membership of the Committee seems to be quiet, we need a response to this. There is the fundamental question of once Bills have gone through First Reading, how long should Committees hold them in terms of preparation for them to be brought for Second Reading. It is regrettable that a Bill as important as this can be with the Committee from April to September. That is a period of five months. That is quite telling. I am not very sure that the Committee is holding this Bill because it has so much work ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: still it has a responsibility to bring its report to this House and tell the House that it is not agreeing with it. However, holding the Bill and sitting on it is irresponsible and the Committee cannot be allowed to do that. That is because Committees are formed to do business for the House. The Committees cannot be allowed to hold Bills at their own will. Therefore, this has two effects. First, it is coming out clearly that my friend, Hon. Maoka Maore, is not leading this Committee effectively. We have talked about this even previously. We have been in ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Suba South! Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This is Hon. John Mbadi. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Actually, Hon. Deputy Speaker, Hon. Millie should be reminded that I am the Member for Parliament for the original Suba. She is the Member for a delegated Suba. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Actually, Hon. Millie represented a constituency called Mbita up to just the other day. At that time, I was representing a constituency called Suba. We decided to divide the name and give them Suba North and retain Suba South. I am properly the Member for the original Suba. That notwithstanding, I rise to do a very noble duty of seconding the Motion as moved by Hon. Jude Njomo regarding the amendments to the Banking Act. The main reason why we move Motions and second them is to bring clarity, just like Hon. Jude Njomo has tried to do, and explain ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Parliament that passed this law, it was not sued. Instead, Oduor sued the CBK and the Attorney- General as respondents. In fact, the Kenya Bankers Association, the Consumers Federation of Kenya (COFEK) and the National Assembly decided to go to court as interested parties. The defence given by the CBK supported the Petition yet they were the respondent in court. The Attorney-General put up a poor show in court. Therefore, it is clear and evident that the person who went to court is not Boniface Oduor, but the CBK. Why would an institution created by law go to court disguising ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the other thing that is coming out clearly, which Hon. Jude Njomo has added, but it was not asked for by the court, is to clearly define the CBK rates. Hon. Jude Njomo, in his amendment, is saying that we are talking about the rate that is mentioned under Section 36(4) of the CBK Act. It talks about the base lending rate so that there is no ambiguity. If you read Section 33B(2) of the Bill, even shylocks who loan people money at 30 per cent rate should worry because they are not left out in this ... view
