• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering (Amendment) Bill. It is important that we come up with these kinds of law that can support and make the use of money from proceeds of crime difficult. The most important thing is to make these activities expensive and make it difficult, so that our country can move forward. view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: We have become a country that glorifies material things at the expense of common good. Common good for the country no longer counts. The sad thing is the tradition and the culture that we have put in place that may even make it difficult to implement whatever laws we come up with. Even the people who are given the responsibility of protecting Kenyans like the Director and the Centre that is supposed to advise and regulate the flow of money and stop these kinds of activities are not doing it. This becomes the Centre where the highest bidders always have ... view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I support this kind of development. At least, at one point, we will have people with energy and drive to do what they must do for the good of this Republic, so that Kenyans can live the dream of our founding fathers. Issues of equity and hard work should be respected. Money laundering and proceeds of crime like casinos in every village are destroying communities. We are using money generated from some of these activities. We have even seen from the media how people are dying. I believe these laws will make it difficult for perpetrators of these crimes and ... view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: For the sake of time and greater interest, I support this Bill. It is my hope and belief that this law and the people we are going to put in these offices will protect Kenyans and will work for the greater good. They should not go there to use the offices that are meant for oversight and management to enrich themselves. Kenyans do not care where you get money, but all they care is whether you have it or not. view
