• 14 Sep 2021 in Senate: listen to them. The CBK as a fiscal agent of the Government, as the entity that manages the forex reserves of this country cannot be left out of the advice, operations and oversight of this sinking fund. I want to conclude as I support the Committee by also saying that we have so many other budgetary priorities but ring-fencing funds and setting them in a pot somewhere for payment of loans might not be feasible. What we need to do is to ensure that our budget goes to fund productive sectors of the economy. If the wealth of a Nation ... view
• 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support the Start-Up Bill sponsored by Sen. Sakaja who in the lingua of some of the schools we went to is my rubble at the Duke of York. We were not there at the same time. I did not get the opportunity to send him for bread or to bully him. However, he had the opportunity of bullying me when I joined Parliament because I joined after him. This is a wonderful Bill. These are the conversations we should be having in the Senate. They say that this is a House of elders but ... view
• 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, you know I am passionate about the lake. We used to fish a small fish called omena using paraffin powered lanterns. When you come to Mbita, Rusinga or Takawiri at night, you would be convinced there is a city far yonder. That city comes to life at night. Now, that city is hundreds and thousands of lanterns that fishermen use to attract that omena to their nets and eventually to their boats. view
• 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: However, through innovative startups, our fishermen discarded the paraffin driven lanterns and went for solar lanterns. Through investors and startups and innovators, those lanterns are recharged at stations driven by solar. It is creating jobs and business opportunities for our young people out there. If you do not have the guts to go fishing at night, all you need to do is set up a lantern charging station driven by solar. You do not have to pay the full capital expense upfront. You can have a unique rental or leasing model that only M-kopa has done. Some of those items ... view
• 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: On the other hand, we have had the big boys like Sportpesa. Today, the main advertisers, the people who are driving advertising revenue in this country are either betting, alcohol or telecommunication companies. The innovation of betting and the view

• 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: ecosystem of gambling and gaming that we have in this country, is the kind startups we want to support? We must find a way to ensure ethical considerations of startups in this Bill. I do not think any startup is good. We must look at its ethical implication. What will be the implication on morality, society and community? Madam Temporary Speaker, even though we are talking about incubators and nexus between the Government innovators and the creative community, we must also make sure that we have clear guidelines on the kind of startup we want to promote. It might surprise ... view
• 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: The direction the world is taking is towards innovation. Many people do not know that Ellon Musk was born and started school in South Africa. The applications he did, what they now call Yellow Pages, were serious innovations at that time. Today, we take it for granted. You recall back in the days, Posta had to distribute a directory, a thick book. If you did not have that, you could not get addresses and post office boxes of organisations in this Republic. People like Ellon Musk are the ones who innovated the Yellow Pages. After that, he sold it and ... view
