• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: I have no youth in my Mwea Constituency because all of them will have been engaged in one way or another. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute to this very important Bill. I really want to thank the Member for Kiambu, Hon. Jude Njomo, for being consistent in fighting for Wanjiku’s interest when it comes to matters of banking. May the people of Kiambu Constituency know that their son is contributing to their good welfare and that of the rest of the Kenyans. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: I also want to thank the Judiciary for finding it necessary to postpone the enactment of the judgement that was made by one year, so that we can have enough time to re-look at this Act and come up with these amendments which are straightforward. They are just making things clearer so that the ambiguities that were in the original amendment can be clarified. In doing so, I also urge the Member for Kiambu not to get tired, but move forward and also look at other areas of banking, including the mobile banking where we also have problems. This also ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: There are many challenges that entrepreneurs and the business community have been facing ever since this Bill became law. It is high time banks re-looked at some of the areas that they put strict conditions for borrowing. If banks can adhere to this particular Bill, they can expand their lending base. More Kenyans would walk in and borrow loans. They do not only need to look at one big fish but small fish that will end up giving them the capital that they are looking for. These strict conditions are really bad for upcoming entrepreneurs. Banks in the old days ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: developing. I therefore urge our banks to look at the advantages of working together with the would-be borrowers, so that they can be partners but not just lenders. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: I also urge the Government to minimise its borrowing from the local banks. By doing so, the banks have found an alternative to business lending and have turned to the Government as its major customer. As we are talking about this Bill, it is upon the Government to also come in and support it indirectly by not borrowing much so that banks can find it necessary to adopt the recommendations of this Bill. It will also reach out to the would-be borrowers without ignoring them in the name of having an alternative market. As we do so, we also need ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Therefore, I am asking the CBK officials to support Wanjiku because that is why they are there. As they support the banks, they must first and foremost know that they are there to support the business communities and Wanjiku who is not well educated to go through that statement to understand it. It is ridiculous when somebody borrows Kshs10,000 and ends up paying kshs20,000. That is not developing a country but killing it. I have seen cases where people borrow Ksh200 million for business and they end up paying Kshs150million out of that loan. Because they are unable to do ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support and urge my brother to be keen on the informal sector. Farmers in Mwea are dying. They sell land and at the end of the day, they make nothing. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: I beg to support. view
• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also support this Motion by Hon. Tecla Tum. As I do so, we need to urge the Ministry of Health to intensify its efforts in documenting curable, preventable and manageable diseases in this country so that we can address them early enough and not just wait to see what the country went through the last one month when we lost prominent people. view
