• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support the Motion. Before I do that, I want to congratulate you for the wise decision that you have made. I declare all men from the East, including myself, wise! view
• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, when things become difficult, the wisest people make decisions even if it hurts many people. In as much as I support this Motion for Adjournment, I have a problem with the presidential directive because it is indefinite. It does not give Kenyans any hope. It was left open-ended. We do not know how long it is going to take and where else it is going to affect. As we speak, many Kenyans are suffering and more so, within those five counties. It is not only affecting five counties, but also others that trade with them. This lockdown, therefore, ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Report. But as many speakers have said, one of the factors affecting the operation and performance of the Uwezo Fund is lack of financial support to the officers and the committees. Buuri Constituency is one of the largest beneficiaries of the Fund. Our collection rate is 97 per cent. We have also been able to bring new groups on board. However, you always find that where regulations are not properly formulated, given the fact that some groups undertake agricultural-based activities, when there is drought in some areas, they are not able ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: One Member said that people with disabilities are not given support. I am happy to say that in my constituency, we have new groups made up of PWDs and are performing extremely well. As it is, you always find some officers and some committees discriminating against PWDs because they do not see them as having the capacity to repay the loans. It is high time the officers posted to the constituencies, particularly those who evaluate people with disabilities, become special people who understand the problems encountered by PWDs. view
• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Some PWD groups weave because they cannot farm. They make kiondos, baskets and shoes, but sometimes it is very difficult to get instant market for the products. That means that they need flexibility in the time they are required to repay the loans. The biggest problem is the way the regulations were formulated. They need to be re-looked at and have insurance as a mitigating factor when death or sickness occurs or there is crop failure. I have observed and training for some of the officers is wanting. I am not talking about the committee members. Some officers in the ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Buuri is not one of the constituencies which do not have committees. We were one of the first constituencies whose committees were gazetted. The new groups should not be treated as the old ones. Let the management accord the new groups opportunity. Those who are willing to apply for loans should be given the opportunity to do so. view
• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to support with the adjustments that I have suggested. Thank you very much. view
• 27 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am in agreement with what our Chairman has presented to this House. I think the drafters and originator of the Bill should have really taken time to do a bit of research to know that there are so many other pieces of legislation which contain what this Bill purports to present. It is, therefore, our agreement. Without adding more, I beg to second. view
• 5 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to ask Question No.043/2019 directed to the CS for Interior and Coordination of National Government: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain the cause of death of one Patrick Gitonga Henry of ID No. 23082227 who was arrested on 6th July 2019 by police officers from Isiolo Police The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 5 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Station, Isiolo Town, and later left at Isiolo Hospital with injuries, where he died on 6th July 2019? (ii) Could the Cabinet Secretary further explain why keys to his house were confiscated thereafter and the house in Timau Area of Meru County was ransacked by the same officers from Isiolo Police Station on the same day, 6th July 2019? (iii) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain the progress, if any, of the investigations of the incidence and action the Ministry has taken to ensure that the culprits are apprehended? view
