• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I persuade Hon. Jude Njomo that I completely understand him. I think this is a concern that we have as a country. Immediately we passed the amendment to the Banking Act which we must thank Hon. Njomo for, there are some Kenyans who have forgotten that the interests rates cap was his Bill which became an Act of Parliament. I understand the frustrations that SMEs are going through, but I think we need to bring a stand-alone amendment that we can debate properly. Probably, the solution is not on prescribing the percentage or the ... view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: So, if we can manage that, then we may not even have to go this way. Again, we do not want to send a wrong signal in the economy that this is as a country of regulations, regulations and further regulations! Period! We only want to regulate where we feel Kenyans are hurting, but we do not want to over-regulate. I oppose this amendment not because I do not see the merit in it, but because it is not properly thought out at this point in time. Thank you. view

• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, first of all, let me agree with Hon. Oundo that matters of constitutionality and following law can be raised at any time because, as a House, we need to be sure that when we make a resolution, it is a resolution that is informed by the law. That is why, sometimes, we want to beseech committees. The reason why we delegate some of these responsibilities to committees is because they have more time to actually address themselves to these fundamental issues. One of the qualifications for appointment states that the nominee should have knowledge and, at least, 10 ... view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Being a registered accountant, I have a direct interest in this amendment. Whereas I agree that we have had a problem as accountants in terms of regulations, many times there are people who are called accountants, but they are not. It is true we need regulation. I have a problem with this amendment. We need a substantive amendment to the Accountants Act. This evening we have a meeting to look at the Act and review it. Sub-clause 69E says that an entity in either private or public sector shall not employ a person to ... view

• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, they just amend Article 108 of the Constitution and the answer shall be found. Hon. Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. First, I do not want to belabour the point that we have a number of Kenyans among these nominees who actually qualify. I do not want to repeat what my colleagues have said about Dalmas Otieno. We all know who he is. I really do not know many of these nominees, but I am relying on the Report of the Committee. However, on the issue of this lady, Ashubwe, I ... view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I was told that the lady is arrogant. I do not know which kind of equipment was used to measure arrogance. Someone told me that when you are intelligent, a lot of times you are regarded to be arrogant because you tell people what they do not want to hear. Thank you. view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I want to bring it to your attention that this is the House that is supposed to pass the Gender Bill. When people with the headscarves start moving out en masse like this and they do not want to stay in the House, how will the Bill pass in this House? The other time the Bill was brought, they were not there. The headscarf is not going to vote. What is going to vote is numbers. They should remain seated. view
