• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to contribute. While one may be compelled not to directly oppose new legislation that is meant to address general issues of public service, governance and so on and so forth, it is good to observe that in the true content of this Bill, I do not see anything spectacularly unique, refreshing or different which will cause any immediate or distant difference in the way matters to do with corruption, stealing or whatever definition you would call bribing or being bribed are being dealt with. Nevertheless, it is good to note that every ... view

• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: age when they have lived over decades and have received the same specimen or formula for their lives, it is revival and to renew things that make them be remembered. Therefore, it is not always that everything being said and done is different or new. The fact that it is being repeated can be very tiring. In this country, we have very many laws in place and it is good to wonder whether the plethora of these laws will make significant difference or whether it will be another citation. This is for academic exercise or rather a debate that will ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: because we do not want people who are aspirants or incumbents to misuse public officers or start stealing from the public sector, or compelling people who are doing business to give them money for campaigns. Cap. 106, Section 5 or 6 of the Public Collections Act talks about the punishment that is meted to individuals who are caught. It talks about penalties of Kshs2,500 and Kshs5,000, but that is subservient or low compared to the Public Officer Ethics Act and the Anti-Corruption Act which creates the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). I would like anybody interested in the improvement of ... view

• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: of bribery, to support this without hesitation, but necessarily with an addition that the call is on us as the national Government, the National Assembly, the Senate, the Judiciary and the Executive to carry a system that will allow us to punish duly. I know people do not want to talk about the chickengate or Anglo-Leasing. When some of us raised issues of Anglo-Leasing some years back, we were bastardised and insulted everywhere. I am happy to see the Vice-Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade here, but the only question that has not been answered in ... view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to humbly request to give the Member some information, if he agrees. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Firstly, I want to congratulate Hon. Mwaura. His initiative in this House reminds us of the work of a nominated Member of Parliament. He is concentrating and focusing on the mandate to serve people with special needs. He needs to be congratulated for doing that. I do so profusely. Secondly, although there are challenges of devolution, there is a lot of positive work that is going on in the 47 counties in terms of enabling constructions that are in agreement with the needs of the local communities. That is being done by NCA together ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This matter of controlling interest rates has occupied successive Parliaments. As I rise to laud Hon. Jude Njomo for initiating this Bill and the ones of previous speakers, variously, it will help to spur business enterprises, trade and commerce. I rise at this very early stage to sound my scepticism as to whether there will be an endorsement. Being a free economy does not mean letting the country go the shylocks way because of closing in on the commercial and financial sectors. Nevertheless, it is also a fact that we have let the banking ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thanks to Hon. Mwai Kibaki and his nascent administration then in 2003, banks started walking to barber shops. They started talking to hawkers and went to villages. Now, if you go to every village in Kenya, you will find an agent of a bank. Therefore, we have liberalised the banking sector in a very big way. view
