• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, now that the Government has decided to use banks, including private banks, to disburse these funds, I would like to know what mechanism or method the Ministry is using to monitor these banks to ensure that the rates they charge are affordable, as the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance is implying. view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, I am in agreement. I only hope that next time, if the two Ministers will not be available, then it will be delegated to another Minister. view
• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also like to support the amendment. As we recognise the fact that many Kenyans are poor, and that they cannot meet the cost of these facilities, it is only logical that the Government shoulders the burden.

• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you realize that I also approached the Chair over the same issue. But just to add on this--- view

There is no reason. We decided to have the publication period for 14 days to allow for public participation. It was also to allow us to have time to look at what is in the proposed Bill. However, if you reduce the publication period from 14 days to eight days, you are not only denying this House an opportunity to look ... view
