• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to congratulate the House for having passed this Bill which goes a long way in deepening the financial reforms that are necessary for the economic development of this country. I wish to point out that this House has the responsibility of legislation. It is the responsibility of the relevant technical arms of the House to ensure that this House engages in competent legislation. To this end, I wish to reiterate that the department of research in Parliament needs to be seriously strengthened; the legal department needs to be seriously strengthened; the Budget Office needs ... view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to agree with the proposal, but I do not understand why we need to get up to Order No. 11. Going by the sequence of the Order Paper, we will be getting to Order No. 11 at the tail end of the business of the day today. I see no reason why we should hurry Order No.11. I would request that we go up to Order No. 10. view
• 3 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I respect the right of every party to appoint anybody from its membership. However, is it in the province of the party to define the terms upon which Members that are appointed are going to serve? view

• 2 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Prime Minister for the meticulous manner he has answered this question. However, I heard him talk about internship which would be rolled out by the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA). The KEPSA is only here in Nairobi. I assume that the internship will engage youths who are at vocational training institutes, polytechnics and university graduates. How will these interns be recruited from all over the country and how long will the programme be there? view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am aware that every hon. Member in this House is a Member of at least two constituencies, the physical one that they represent and the party that they represent. What the Standing Orders envisage there, in my view, is that before you are removed, there is somebody who takes you there. In that context, that somebody has the authority to remove you. Kenya is a multi-party democracy and in view of that, hon. Members remain the property of their parties. view

• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also rise to support the Bill, which seeks to reform our payment system. Also, let me start by congratulating Dr. Harun Sirma on his appointment as the new Deputy Governor of the CBK. We appreciate how much the ongoing reforms impose responsibilities on the CBK. It is imperative that there is capacity to deal with these emerging responsibilities. It is on that account that I want to laud the appointment of Dr. Sirma. view
• 27 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to congratulate the Minister on the initiative to reform our payment system. I think this is in keeping with technological development that Kenya needs to remain part of. I also want to point out that it is very important that we create a payment system that ensures accountability and trail. There are transactions that we have between individuals and between companies and individuals. I have seen situations where Government payments are concerned. There are certain times when payments have been done and you were left wondering who the beneficiary of that payment was. ... view
