• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: It is also good that we have very good trade practices in this country although we are complaining that we have seen very many industries closing down. I also want to thank the motor vehicle companies that have decided to come back to Kenya, like Volkswagen and Peugeot. It tells me that we do not have bad practices. It is only that we are not able to protect our local industries. If foreign industries are coming back to Kenya, it means that we need to protect local industries. With this Bill, we will protect our industries. view
• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: It is good that we will have this Agency, though we know that we have created many agencies. If we want to have a good trade remedy, we need to have an authority that will take care of our industries. I hope that if we have an authority, it will implement what the Bill says. With those very few words, I support the Bill because it will develop Kenya. We will create jobs for our youth and make sure that Kenya moves in the right direction. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view

• 30 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is worth noting that we are tabling a progress report. We do not have any recommendations or observations yet, because this is a progress report on the Petition that was presented to this House. Once we are through with consideration of the Petition, if we shall continue, we will have observations and recommendations. It is also worth noting that this is a Petition that has attracted a lot of attention. We have had very many friends of the Committee as well as members of the public. It is, therefore, better if we can start again, continue and ... view
• 22 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to make a little contribution to the President’s State of the Nation Address. First, the President highlighted the successes he has achieved which I agree with. I remember in the last Parliament, we used to have many problems when it came to police vehicles. As a Member for Subukia Constituency, I remember we only used to have one Land Rover which was always immobile, but currently, as I stand, we have enough vehicles. We have a vehicle for the Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD) and a patrol ... view
• 22 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: I support our armed forces in Somalia. We had a lot of insecurity and even lost a tourist in Lamu to the Al Shabaab . There was also a lot of piracy activities in our waters, but as soon as we sent the Kenya Defence Forces into Somalia, so many things have changed. There is enough security within and without our borders. That is an achievement everybody in this country should agree with. The number or tourists coming into our country has increased. In terms of security, we have made good progress. view
• 22 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: The President talked about capping of interest rates on bank loans in passing. Ever since the capping of interest rates on bank loans, and I am the Vice-Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade and we oversee banks, I can tell this House for sure 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
• 22 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: that people are not getting loans as they used to before we capped the interest rates. This is something we need to review because the number of people who are getting bank loans has decreased because banks are now lending to institutions which are less risky. They are not lending to individuals. That is a fact we should review. Capping interest rates is a populist system that we think is good, but it is not for the economy. This is something we need to review. view
• 22 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: We have made a lot of progress electronically. Tomorrow, we are going to launch the E- Akiba where people will now buy Treasury bonds and bills online. This is going to be the first platform in the world where you can buy Treasury bonds using a mobile phone. That is happening in Kenya which is a progress that people should take note of. view
