• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: For instance, the National Police Service (NPS), Members have a SACCO Society which takes care of the financial management. So, Members save and eventually when retiring, they get their retirement benefits as well as their savings and also access loans. Currently, we have a number of SACCOs in the country that take care of different parastatals, even teachers have Mwalimu SACCO. This is a good sign that people trust the SACCO Societies because they are helping them. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: However, on the side of management of the SACCO Societies, you will realise some do not have a good structure to run them well. This is simply because somebody realises there is an opportunity and ends up being appointed as a chair or director and employs his wife or relatives.

• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Eventually, it happens just like we have seen in the past, where some financial institutions like banks go under and the directors take away hard earned money contributed by the Kenya citizens and run away. Therefore, it becomes very difficult even for Members to pursue and arrest that person. It becomes a mess. That person cannot be held accountable for whatever mismanagement he has caused. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: So, this proposed amendment has come at the right time to safeguard and cushion Kenyan citizens who happen to contribute their money into these co-operative societies. With those few remarks, I support the Bill. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Government Contractors Bill brought in by the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Sincerely speaking, there have been lots of gaps in the way procurement has been carried out in our country, particularly in areas of roads. As much as we have the county government and equally the national Government, it is very unfortunate that every time a contract is advertised online and you expect Kenyans to apply for those contracts, they normally outline that these contracts belong to people living with disabilities, youth or women. So, they expect that these cadres of people are the only ones who are eligible to apply for those contracts. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Kenyans have mustered every art such that instead of those clusters of people applying, you will find unscrupulous contractors in the name of people living with disabilities in possession of all kinds of certificates to justify that they are people living with disabilities when they are not. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Therefore, this is how corruption chips in. So, you end up awarding a contract which was meant for people living with disabilities to normal citizens. This is in line with the President’s decree on setting aside of 30 per cent of public contracts for women, youth and people living with disabilities. When will such people stand on their feet economically, if this is the status quo? view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: For that reason, the policy must be structured in a way that the organisation in charge of people living with disabilities is required to identify and recommend categories of people living with disabilities. That way, we can move forward. I come from a marginalised area. This is in sync with the constitutional provision of promoting Kenyans who have been left behind The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: economically so that they can catch up with the rest of Kenyans. For the marginalised communities, we have created the Equalisation Fund. Unfortunately, in the spirit of ensuring that all Kenyans have an equitable share of the national cake, it would be prudent if such contracts are shared equally amongst the marginalised areas. view
