• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. At the outset, I want to support this Motion by hon. James Gakuya on the expansion and modernisation of Jogoo Road and Landhies Road. The recent survey that was conducted indicated that the city with the highest number of vehicles is Nairobi and that is why everybody here is complaining that we have traffic jams. When you look at the travel mode of Nairobians, everybody drives a car and it is high time we expanded roads and even imposed a tax to decongest this City. When you The electronic ... view
• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: drive in cities like London, you have to pay a tax known as Congestion Charge. I think we should expand Jogoo Road because we know there are very many estates that are coming up along the Eastern side of Nairobi. We have estates like Pipeline, Utawala and the rest which all congest Jogoo Road. We need to expand Jogoo Road and maybe have a bus route that will have a lane that will be used by Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) only. We have seen the influx of tuk-tuks and motorbikes. If we modernise this Jogoo Road, it is high time ... view

• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: He has said that he comes from Tigania and hon. Maina Kamanda from Starehe. I thought we were all Members of the National Assembly. view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this very important Motion by Humphrey Njuguna. When you look at the funds that have been created in this country, they only cater for the women and the youth, discriminating against men who are already past 35 years. Out there, there are people who are still energetic and still need money, but this Government has decided to discriminate them in these funds. It is high time we gave out money to men between the ages of 35 and 50. This is prime age. People in this age ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: We have seen the Uwezo Fund, the Youth Enterprise Development Fund, the Women Enterprise Development Fund. It is quite a lot of money and has helped quite a lot of people. Unfortunately, the youth Fund is not well utilized. The youths are not taking up money, and I believe it is because they lack ideas. The age group of 35 to 50 years can utilize this money. If the Government does not have enough funds, then it can take portions of the Uwezo Fund, the Women Enterprise Development Fund or the Youth Enterprise Development Fund and put them into the ... view

• 14 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: However, there was no financial provision in the whole Bill, and the Committee is going to bring an amendment to make sure that all the finances that are collected by the institute are well accounted for in order for the members of the institute to have confidence in it. One of the major functions of the institute is to advise the Cabinet Secretary in charge of finance on matters relating to security and investment in all sectors of the economy. view
• 14 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Under Clause 12, the Bill provides for the appointment of the secretary to the council. We noted that although there is provision for appointment of the secretary to the council, the drafters did not specify if the secretary was going to be the Chief Executive Officer. After consultations, we agreed to bring an amendment to cater for the Chief Executive Officer of the institute. The Bill also provides for registration of securities and investment analysts by the registration body, under Clause 13. One must have passed examinations issued by the Certified Securities and Investments Analysts Board. So, one has to ... view
• 14 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: pass before he can be registered.

Under Clause 17, the Bill provides for ways in which a member may be disqualified – a provision of major importance. The Bill also provides for a committee to vet all those people who will be registered. If one does not pass the ethics or integrity test, one shall not be a member of the institute. We also noted that, under Clause 20 of the Bill, the drafters ... view
