• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Bringing the four Funds together was to make a very monolithic and big financial institution, which was not the intention of the existing arrangement. The Funds are supposed to reach the consumers very easily. The Regulations were coming up with some offences without corresponding penalties, something which offends the law. view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to speak to this important Motion. I support the Committee’s Report. As a Committee, we did not have an option. As it has been said by the Chairman, and the Member for Funyula, there was no explanation as to why it took over seven years to present these Regulations to this House from the time the consultations were done. It is clear that what was done six or seven years ago may not be addressing the current situation as per the time when the Regulations were tabled in this ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to ask Question the Cabinet Secretary for Education the following Question: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain the circumstances under which forty-one (41) students who sat for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) in 2012 at Sacred Heart Kangaita Secondary School in Kirinyaga Central Constituency were denied their certificates by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC)? (ii) Could the Cabinet Secretary also explain why the KNEC has failed to issue KCSE certificates to Githae John Kariuki (Index No. 09203422035) and Kinyua D. Muriithi (Index No. 09203422005) who sat for the KCSE in 2012 in the ... view
• 25 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The answer is quite satisfactory. This is one of the few occasions where a Cabinet Secretary or the institutions required to give answers have taken their time to give a good answer. This answer is an eye opener to the fact that quite a number of schemes in Kenya are actually unregulated. I am surprised that even a big company like Cytonn Investments is not regulated. This shows how much Kenyans are actually exposed. They have even gone to court to get an injunction so that they are not investigated. There are quite a ... view
• 25 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: schemes which get money fraudulently through people who come with all manner of goodies. For instance, they say they will invest your money and you will earn good dividends or income but Kenyans eventually end up suffering. This is a good response. As a House, we look forward to receiving the regulations. They should not have waited to this financial year. They should have come much earlier. Once the regulations get to this House, we should pass them and have them enforced immediately. For all schemes engaging in investments in Kenya, there will be regulations to govern their operations to ... view
• 25 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to also add my voice to this matter. I want to sincerely thank the Chairman and the Leader of the Majority Party and the whole Committee for doing a good job. My concern is that it should not be an issue of appealing. The law is very clear on when this money is supposed to be released. Each financial year, whatever we should get, we should get it during that financial year. The money should be released at the appropriate time and, more so, the outstanding Kshs4.9 billion. Most ... view
• 14 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Education the following Question: (i) What measures has the Ministry put in place to urgently bridge the digital literacy divide among learners, particularly in public schools across the country and specifically in Kirinyaga Central Constituency considering that digital literacy is one of the core competencies to be attained by learners under the Competency- Based Curriculum (CBC)? (ii) What challenges has the Ministry been facing in the implementation of digital literacy in the education curriculum in both the 8-4-4 and CBC systems? (iii) What steps has the Ministry taken to ensure ... view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance to also add my voice. First of all, I take a lot of exception with Hon. Ichung’wah saying that we are populating the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. In fact, previously, this was a disservice to the people of Kirinyaga because I was in the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and my neighbour, Hon. Gichimu, was in the same Committee. So, we had two Members from the same county in the same committee and he never complained then. I The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report ... view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: do not know why it is an issue now that I have been taken to the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, where my brother was. I think he only wanted to mention the name of Principal Secretary Kibicho, who comes from Kirinyaga County. The fact that PS Kibicho comes from Kirinyaga County does not mean that he made me a Member of Parliament. I am here by my own right. I am entitled and I have the ability to serve in any committee of this House. If Hon. Ichung’wah is obsessed with PS Kibicho and Kirinyaga, he might ... view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to also add my voice to Sessional Paper No. 1 of 2021 on the National Water Policy. We all know and appreciate that water is life. We also know that in our Constitution, we have embraced the fact that water is life. We have said that every Kenyan has a right to clean and adequate water. view
