The fact that there has been a report commissioned by the Department of Education, completed after very comprehensive consultations from the grassroots to the national level and all the stakeholders - private, Governmental and non-Governmental, sponsors and charities--- They were all involved in the compilation of the report. The fact that the report is not being implemented means that there is run away impunity in this country that needs to be reined in. We are finding the Presidency helplessly asking the Cabinet Secretary in charge to act. We are finding the Cabinet Secretary calling press conferences threatening principals. What is ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, lastly, the County Government of Nyeri is supported by all the hon. Members of Parliament from Nyeri County. We entered into an agreement on issues of Form One admissions. That agreement was signed by the Principal Secretary in charge of education on behalf of the Cabinet Secretary (CS). There has been zero outcome and zero compliance on that. Therefore, there is impunity at Jogoo House and what we need to be told is: Who are these cartels that have held executives at Jogoo House captives that they are unable to move? We need to know who ...

The main objective is to benefit this country by enabling investments by larger sections of our citizenry and by advancing, or improving investments that have already been made by the Government through its fiscal agent; the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK).

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Bill looks at the current state of Government borrowing. It looks at the sources and clearly recognises the fact of amending Section 45 to specifically lower the denominations in Government securities, and improve the existing platforms provided by the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). It will remove the bottlenecks or obstacles that exist. We will also be improving people’s participation as well as competition and, therefore, eliminate inefficiencies that exist.

I realise that the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade, together with the Budget and Appropriations Committee, have duly agreed that this amendment is necessary and timely. Although the CBK says that there can be re- consideration of this particular amendment, since there has been an internal effort to do exactly what we seek to do, they appreciate that this move is both timely and noble. Therefore, this Bill seeks to complement what is being done. It also seeks to overhaul and fast-track the efforts being made; we appreciate that many a times incumbency can be conservative and beholden ...
