From the outset, Kenya’s overall net public debt to the GDP ratio has declined over the last two years as a result of prudent financial policy and a stable macro- economic environment. This is based on the report by the IMF and the World Bank that says that, at the end ... view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, if you look at Kenya’s risk over external debt analysis, the distress remains low while the overall public sector debt dynamic continues to be sustainable.

• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, I want to take this opportunity to thank and congratulate the Departmental Committee, led by hon. (Ms.) Amina Abdalla. It is for the same reason that my good friend, the Member for Balambala, has said that they have done a very good job. Hon. Members will remember that when debate on this Bill was, first, being moved, there were lots of technical issues that were not clear but hon. Amina Abdalla and her Committee have managed to simplify everything through these amendments. That is why we have The electronic version of the Official Hansard ... view

• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have three comments on this Bill. First, it has aligned the Environmental Management Act with the Constitution. By doing so, it has brought our counties to the same level with the national Government in environmental conservation and management issues. view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Secondly, if it becomes law, this Bill will go a long way in protecting our environment against pollution and exploitation. As a country, we will move forward in trying to get the 10 per cent forest cover because forests include the environment. We will also be moving into a future of green environment. view
