• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: I want to agree that we postpone the debate. Initially, I was opposed to it. I wanted us to dispose of it and give the Senators money to oversee the counties. However, if there is no legal framework, I want to agree that we can postpone debate and engage more and understand these regulations. We cannot vote money and then tomorrow, we say that money is being misused. We will be accused of being negligent. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I support the Motion. view
• 14 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I will try to be relevant especially speaking after Hon. Mwangi. Article 132 of the Constitution allows the President to address this Parliament once every year in two aspects. He can choose to address us during the State of the Nation Address and secondly, he can choose to address us during a Special Sitting of Parliament. The State of the Nation Address does not have to be delivered in Parliament. I assume the President gave a Special Speech to Parliament because looking at his Speech, the fears which I had on 31st March, 2016 have ... view
• 14 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, my colleagues need to appreciate that when the Jubilee Government came to power, there are promises that were made to the people of Kenya. One of them was that the economy would grow at 7 per cent in the first year and then at double digit in the following year. As I speak, the economic prospect of this country is in great danger. I wish Hon. Shill would just listen to me because this is not about me. It is about the future of this country. It is about our ability to repay public debt. By the ... view
• 14 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: By the way, I hear someone talking about the National Youth Service (NYS). These are the thieves of NYS. view
• 14 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Those who stole from the NYS are clearly known. I want to speak to the possibility that this country, in the next five years, will not be able to repay our loans. I want to explain. First, if you look at our Estimates of the 2014/2015 Financial Year, the repayment was Kshs362 billion. This financial year, it is going to be Kshs433 billion, an increase of Kshs71 billion in one year. That is a 20 per cent increase. Five years from today, this country will only be able to repay the public debt capital and interest. I want to add ... view
• 14 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: When the President talks about 3,000 kilometres of road network being done in this country, nothing could be further from the truth. We have challenged the President to tell us by county, the names of the roads that are being tarmacked. Every road that could be developed in this country has a number. Let us know where these roads are being done. view
• 14 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: When you talk of inclusivity, cohesion and national unity, we do not see it by action. It is not a question of riding with your deputy in the same convoy to Kiambu and talk about unity. It is not about going to Nakuru for political rallies. You need to show by action and deed that you are actually committed. view
• 13 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to contribute to the Amendment Bill by Hon. Jude Njomo. I start by saying that this House has made several attempts before. I recognise that this attempt was made by Hon. Jakoyo in a number of occasions through the Finance Bill. It was to have banks controlled in terms of the way they are fleecing the people of Kenya. All of us are aware that the interest rates offered by the banking sector are completely unacceptable. You will find the sector giving us very little in terms of interest on deposits and yet ... view
• 13 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: unacceptable. This is our money. When we see banks declaring so much money, we should know that the money goes to a few individuals. That is why the gap between the rich and poor in this country continues to widen. This is because you take money from the ordinary person who is selling mboga in the street and give it to the pockets of those we can call mabwenyenye and make them richer and impoverish those who are already poor. I want to thank Hon. Jude Njomo for bringing this amendment to the Banking Act. I also want to agree ... view
