• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: We have already heard from the Member for Marakwet East talk about the Suguta Valley where we lost over 70 people. We have lost over 40, 50 and 60 people in Todonyang severally not once, not twice. Nadapal at the border between Kenya and Sudan, in Liboi the border between Kenya and Uganda--- These are the dynamics or the scenarios that we are talking about.

• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, is the hon. Member in order to say that this Motion is not relevant when we know very well that it is relevant to some of us? It may not be relevant to the people of Kisumu but it is certainly relevant to some of us. view

• 17 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill and one of the basic questions that we would ask is: Where are these other big banks and microfinance institutions? They are not in some places. If you go to Lodwar, you will not find them. It is the microfinance institutions that are accessible and that is a basic question that all of us ought to ask.

That is because of the favourable modalities used by the Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) to give loans and that anybody can access that. The MFIs have even gone beyond lending money in terms of the corporate social responsibilities. We have had children from poor families being given scholarships by these institutions. We have had women groups being trained on capacity building on financial management. view
• 17 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when we talk of the family, it is the basic unit in a society and it is very critical in the development of a nation; the family is very much connected to the woman and the woman is the person that has been empowered by these institutions. All the money that women get goes into projects that develop the family. view
