• 13 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: privatised very quickly because the Government has no business engaging in business. Business should be left to players in the private sector and private investors. Kenyans can be encouraged to participate in business. Investors from outside the country can be invited to participate so that we do not end up sinking taxpayers’ money trying to rescue some of these parastatals. No matter how much money is injected into some of these parastatals, they will never be revived. They are dying or they are in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) or they are dead. This reading of parastatals makes a very sad ... view
• 13 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: In order to minimise impunity where people mismanage parastatals, loot their resources and dispose of their assets haphazardly, we should start seeing prosecution, naming and shaming of individuals. I wonder because some monitoring and regulatory organisations have been in existence. There used to be the Efficiency Monitoring Unit and the Parastatal Advisory Committee among others. I do not know whether they still exist and if they do why they allow this kind of mess to go on in parastatals. view
• 13 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: The most important thing is to ensure that the job that this Committee has done, leading to these very good recommendations, is not in vain. These recommendations should be implemented so that they can serve this country better. view

• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: I think I just want to support since it is trying to correct that overlap on fines, they are on one section and also appearing on a new schedule. I think is just a question of cleaning up. I support that amendment. view

• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I rise to oppose the amendment because the Chair has not given convincing reasons why it should be deleted. If I heard him right, what he said is that this could be contained in regulations or rules. He has not said what harm it does by being here. If it is space, from what I see it is occupying hardly a page. So, I really do not see any harm.
