• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, may I first of all take this opportunity to thank all the hon. Members who have contributed to this Motion. I would also like to thank all the hon. Members who wanted to support the Motion through their contribution on the Floor of this House, but did not have the time to do so. I hope they will give their vote to this particular Motion. The first point I want to state here is that the Government must end hostility to the informal sector. What do I mean by hostility?

• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: We are trying to take the informal sector; the Jua Kali artisan, peasant farmer, watchmen who are serving us in various ways, house worker and make credit facilities available to them. If we do so, we shall have addressed the problem of poverty, because this problem will not be addressed by conventional banks like the Barclays Bank, Standard Chartered Bank or even the Kenya Commercial Bank. Most of them are located in big towns and do not reach all corners of this country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, over the years, we have ignored the informal sector by not providing ... view
• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to quote institutions like the KPOSB, which have wide outlets, have the potential to be used to expand the linkages between the micro-finance sector and the banking sector. This will enable the micro-finance providers to take advantage of the physical presence of the KPOSB outlets for the transfer of funds to the accounts with their clearing banks. Therefore, the financial requirements for thereforms are expected to come from the financial sector, with the adjustment credit being financed by the World Bank. Once we create this bank, we shall ask the Government and the ... view

• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Being the disadvantaged people within the framework of some organisation format which they can understand, operate and find their economic strength through mutual support, this bank will reverse the age-old vicious cycle of low income, low savings and investments into an expansionary system of low income and access to credit. This will ensure that they invest more of that income to get more credit and, therefore, make more investments, leading to more income. That is the way to abolish poverty. It is not through the World Bank's prescription but through our own initiative and using our own institutions. Mr. Temporary ... view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, could I be that other hon. Member who moves that the Mover be called upon to reply? We want to move on to other business. view
