• 1 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for finally giving me this opportunity. First, I must appreciate our Chair for articulating most of the provisions. I think he has done a very good job. view
• 1 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Having said that, I rise to support the amendments. In particular, I am very glad to support Section 68(A) that proposes to give more power to the Insurance Regulatory Authority so that it can continuously assess the management of these insurance companies. Members have said here and it is common knowledge that most of the policy holders have actually lost their claims in the past or they have not been compensated because most of these companies went down. More often than not the reasons for this are poor management and incompetence which eventually culminates into fraud. So, by ensuring that ... view
• 1 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Secondly, I am also touched by the amendment on the period for compensation because by reducing the period for submitting the final accounts to the Commissioner of Insurance from four months to three months, we will ensure that there is timely compensation. Most policy holders went through stress in the past when they were involved in accident. You have to start boarding a matatu for months if your car is involved in an accident as you wait for compensation. I want to believe that this amendment will go a long way in ensuring that there is compliance and that the ... view
• 1 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to comment on the amendment to Section 153 that refers to open or free trade within the East African partner states. This was also our concern as a Committee; that Kenyan residents are not being given the same treatment in some of the East African Community partner states. That is why we are The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 1 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: proposing in our Committee an amendment that apart from just saying “to the East Africa and partner states”, we are saying “East Africa partner states that will comply or that will reciprocate” because if they are not reciprocating, then why should we reciprocate in Kenya? We are concerned that there should be free trade but we should get the same from the other partner states. view
• 1 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I agree with hon. Kajuju that the purpose of the East African Treaty is to widen and deepen integration. That is the same thing that we are doing. That is why we are having sports for East African countries but there should be reciprocation. view
• 1 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to support. view
• 18 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to add my voice to the debate on the Deposits Insurance Bill. view
• 18 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: This Bill is very timely. Just as my colleagues have mentioned, many Kenyans lost their money in the past due to lack of proper control mechanisms and weak administrative structures in our financial institutions. The businesses of some people even went under because they lost all their money in the financial institutions that went under. So, I support this Bill because it seeks to strengthen the regulatory framework that is in place. Once this Bill is enacted into law, members of the public will have confidence in saving their monies in banks. Even as we go out there and talk ... view
• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for finally giving me an opportunity. I rise to support the Adjournment Motion because for one it is very timely and also it is a health break to all of us. We have had very little time to address issues of our constituencies and I want to believe that this break will give us time to go and attend to development issues in our constituencies. view
