• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also join in to thank the Chairperson of the Committee on Information and Technology for presenting its quarterly report. It is clear that the committee has been active doing some positive work. Going to the future, I urge the Committee to pay some attention to online lending which is commonly called, Fuliza . I am sure every time you want to send some money to somebody, they quickly send you a message and say; “do not send on this number, send on this one”. This is because the one they tell you not to send ... view
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: loans are not being controlled by the CBK. So, they charge interest that accumulatively is very punitive. view
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have been made to understand that online lending is now chalking about Kshs430 billion in a year. That is substantial sums of money. It is helping the ordinary people because they borrow in small bits and pieces of shillings, but the cumulative total of interest paid is unconscionable; it is actually shylock interest. view
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when the chairperson walked in, we were dealing with the Statement from Laikipia where Communication Authority of Kenya (CAK) seems not to be paying sufficient attention to protection of frequencies that are given out to individuals or groups that pay for community radio stations and other electronic communications. That again is an area that the Committee should ensure there are no overlapping of frequencies; there is no jamming of one frequency by another and that there is no abuse by those who are bigger against the smaller players in the industry. I say this because we ... view

• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: We need the police to be on high alert. The ICT Committee should look into this so that these cybercriminals are dealt with because they are wreaking havoc on our unsuspecting citizens. Lastly, we must continuously try to improve the frequencies and the clarity of communication. Of late you get the impression that Safaricom is becoming a victim of its own success. Their service provision is creating a lot of unnecessary problems. You find that while you are on a phone call with somebody, another call comes in and truncates that call or you could be talking to somebody on ... view
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: a bodaboda rider or whoever, every frequency you use and airtime, you pay for it. We want to pay for good quality services. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. We cannot let the distinguished Senator for Narok County get away with what he has said. Standing Order 96 is very clear. It says- ‘(3) It shall be out of order to use offensive or insulting language whether in respect of Senators or other persons. Further (4) No Senator shall impute motive to any other Senator or to a Member of the National Assembly except upon a specific Substantive Motion---.’ There is no single Senator here who speaks to the gallery. We speak to the HANSARD. Whatever we say here is ... view
