• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other thing that needs our attention as legislators is the issue of fake news. Before the CS announced the fourth victim at 3 O’clock today, we had heard from social media that there was somebody from Mukuru kwa Njenga slums that had been rushed to hospital. It was also alleged that there was somebody from Kambi Samaki--- view
• 17 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, to put it on record, nothing was put on hold. What was announced was that we need to limit the number of people attending funerals and marriages. This is important because if you have a huge population, it becomes another high risk area. The announcement was to ensure that we have a limited number of people attending such functions which are very common. Funerals are common these days. Therefore, it is important to reduce the numbers and make the funeral as fast as possible. That is what we talked about. Additionally, as we talk of responding, our ... view
• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to present a Petition on behalf of Moi University Savings and Credit Society (MUSCO). As I begin to do this Petition, I want to declare interest. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: I joined Moi University in 1996 and for 22 years, I was a very active member of this society. Although I have not been active since I left in 2007, I think my shares are still lying somewhere. So, I can declare that I may be a member of this group. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: The Petition before us concerns the liquidation of MUSCO. The members of MUSCO would like to draw the attention of the Senate to the following- (1) That MUSCO is an established Sacco.

• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: (6) That MUSCO received an operating license in 2014 and got its renewal later from the Sacco Societies Regulatory Authority (SASRA) to operate as a deposit taking business. (7) That the establishment of SASRA as a strong regulatory framework instilled confidence that it would ensure members’ funds were very secure. (8) Further, that following the completion of the MUSCO Towers building, the Sacco began to experience liquidity problems. (9) That the problems were compounded by failure of Moi University to remit its members’ deductions from June 2015 to the time when the license was revoked. (10) SASRA sought to revoke ... view

• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, further that, the speedy deregistration and non-procedural appointment of liquidators cast doubt on the intentions of SASRA and the Commissioner of Cooperatives. Further that, the Cabinet Secretary (CS) failed to grant MUSCO a hearing concerning the decision to appeal the decision by SASRA to revoke the license pursuant to Section 69 of the Cooperatives Societies Act. Apart from the aforementioned letter to the CS, MUSCO has sought other interventions. Further, therefore, Senate should note that after the failed attempt to seek audience with the CS, MUSCO moved to court to apply for judicial review orders against the ... view
