• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to draw your attention to the fact that when we came to the House, we all took oath of office which said that we must defend and protect the Constitution as State officers. Defending the Constitution and protecting it is also by respecting the institutions that have been created by that Constitution, which include this House. view
• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Recently, three days ago, there was an opinion poll on the Members who are active and those who are not, which I do not believe was done scientifically. But a Member of this House went out of his way to disparage this House in a very awkward manner by saying that he does not waste his time in the House because he has other serious businesses to do. I felt, as a Member of the House, that I have a duty and obligation to defend the House when it is under attack and, more so, from a Member of the ... view
• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: A Member of Parliament has three roles according to the Constitution. That is legislation, oversight and representation. You can represent your people in funerals and you can oversee even in your house or other oversights like Hon. Millie Odhiambo alluded to at one time. But legislation can only happen in this House. Ninety per cent of the work we do here is legislation, including the money the Member is using outside there like the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). It must be legislated and voted for here in the form of the Budget and the vote heads in the ... view
• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: The Standing Orders are clear: You can use three languages - English, Kiswahili or the Kenyan Sign Language. Hon. Sudi can use the Kenyan Sign Language if he has limitation in the other two or I can amend the Standing Orders on his behalf to get interpretations from mother tongue here. He can come here, and if the Standing Order allows us, he can speak in his Kalenjin Language, then another Member who is learned like Prof. Tuitoek, Hon. Kamket or Hon. Sossion, who is nominated and has no much work to do, can interpret for the House what the ... view
• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I felt really bad as a Member of this House. I felt that demeaning of the House may be done by other people, but not a Member of this House who enjoys privileges as a Member of the House. If we demean the National Assembly, it will be our own problem. view
• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would like you to look into that matter and if possible, if the Standing Orders allow me, to name him! Hon. Speaker, as the Chairman of the Power and Privileges Committee, I beseech you to summon the Member and take disciplinary action against him the way Okiki Amayo used to when he was the chairman of the disciplinary committee of KANU. That is very bad, Hon. Speaker. He must apologise to the people I represent, and whom he claimed they talk too much English. You know, children there speak English immediately they are born. They say: “I ... view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Bill. This is one of the best Bills this House will pass. Unfortunately, the media does not pick it up for a reason which I do not know. You will hear of other things, but you will never hear them serialising this Bill as important. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: This Bill is timely. Many Kenyans are suffering because they have guaranteed someone a loan. A guarantor is supposed to be just like a referee. He is a person who says that he knows the person who is borrowing some money and that he is a good man and then he signs for him. He is not taking the loan on his behalf or he is not the one who is being given the loan. view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Wamalwa was telling me that a lot of teachers in his place do not sleep in their homes because they have guaranteed some people loans. They hide in the farms because people come for them. If somebody has borrowed money from a SACCO or bank, the primary responsibility of paying that loan lies with the borrower. Within a short period, the bank or lender looks for the borrower and if he does not find him, they start harassing the guarantor and collecting his household items, utensils and kukus in the village. I saw one of the SACCOs which invaded ... view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I want to thank Hon. Wakapee for bringing this Bill at this time. He realised that Kenyans suffer through the lenders who only care about the interest they earn and the money they get from you. This Bill will go a long way to make credit cheap because banks will make sure they engage the borrower in a manner that he will be able to pay. Nowadays, a borrower defaults and in a month or two months they go for the guarantor because they know he is a rich man and can afford to pay on behalf of the borrower. ... view
