• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the Bill. This Bill is timely. First of all, it regulates the industry. This is a very essential service. Apart from the mainstream security provision by the Government, the private sector provides security services. For the first time, there is an authority that is going to ensure that the sector is providing services with efficiency, the laws are followed and the end users; those who are going to benefit from these security firms, are regulated. The Bill seeks to ensure that all private security firms pay good salaries to their employees. They should ... view
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: If private security firms are audited, they will follow the law. The code of conduct that is supposed to be signed between the employers and the workers will ensure that the employees work well. It is good for private security providers to be allowed to carry guns. I agree because it is not the provision of guns that is going to promote crime, it is how those guns are well tracked and taken care of. We have seen a number of security guards having guns in neighbouring countries but no deaths are reported as a result of that. In this ... view
• 10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill, but with a number of recommendations for amendments. view
• 10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am speaking as the Vice- Chairman of the Committee as well as the Member for Tinderet. I want to say that HELB is one of the best revolving funds that this county has ever established. The Board is very essential. It has even helped a number of hon. Members, who are here today, to go through their university studies. view
• 10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the intention of the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) was to ensure that Kenyans access higher education. Its purpose is to assist the younger generation to go through our system of education. view
• 10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: In this amendment, the issue of making sure that the parents sign for the minors is very good because minors, that is, those who are below 18 years cannot enter into any contract. Some of them have failed to access loans because of that. So, if it is allowable that parents take the loans on behalf their children until they attain the age of 18, then that is a very good idea. This regulation has barred many students from accessing funds. With this new Clause 3, a number of students whose age is below 18 and do not have IDs ... view
• 10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: who have started companies have very good income. In this case, this matter should be handled with the students and the HELB. This has been the regulation and it has been practiced all along. view
• 10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: If it is made mandatory that the HELB will allow a student one, five or ten years, we will reduce the gains of this Board which has assisted a number of students. The intention was to ensure that the Board is self-sustaining. view
• 10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Clause 7(1)(a) will make a number of beneficiaries not to repay their loans. I want to give an example where students have cleared their course. I know a number of students who are in their Second Year or Third Year who have very good companies and, therefore, very good income. I would recommend that Clauses 4 and 7 be handled under the regulations. I know that we have a number of institutions that are also dispensing bursaries or funds for education. It is my considered opinion and that of the Committee that all these be put ... view
• 10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I also know a number of constituencies that have developed constituency revolving funds. If these are put together under one Bill, then these funds will be channeled very well and all our students in the public universities will not have a problem accessing higher education funds. I support with amendments. Thank you. view
