• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would also like to contribute on this Motion. The socio-economic situation in the country at the moment has made many multi-nationals to fold. It is, therefore, very timely that we have a bank that is prepared to expand in the rural areas. This is the bank that should be fully supported, not only by hon. Members, but by the Government at large. The multi-national banks have been raking billions of shillings in profit but they hardly plough it back to the indigenous people. This Motion should be enhanced to give the Kenya Post ... view
• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I salute you for giving me this chance to say something about the KNBS. I am very grateful to the Minister for having taken the initiative for establishing the KNBS. The very bureau in particular has been in existence. If you allow me to revisit the old adage about "who husbanded the cow that hon. Obwocha is now milking, it is all logical that if you take your cow for insemination either naturally or artificially, you have also played a big role. However, I am made to understand that this same Bill was before this ... view
• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: I am sorry, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Thank you for that correction. I have in mind the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS). I was saying that if the data collected by the Ministry of Health is required by the Ministry of Education, the KNBS should have a window which can help them to access that data faster without going through the Bureau. This will avoid delays in getting the data. There is a lot bureaucracy in getting information from the Ministries. Some of them have even delayed development. I have in mind some investors who came from Europe ... view
• 21 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thanks a lot, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Allow me also to take this opportunity to congratulate the Minister for Finance for his presentation of the Budget this year, which had a lot of hidden goodies. This could pass as one of the best Budget presentations ever made. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as a very good revenue collector, the Minister gave us a flamboyant report on how he is going to collect more revenue. I must also congratulate him here because for the second year running, Kenya will be having a Budget without donor support. This is great. I believe that ... view
• 13 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you, for giving me this opportunity. Let me take this early opportunity to add my voice in supporting the proposed Bill. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is rather late for such a Bill to come at this time. It should have been there yesterday or in the previous Parliament. Our cultural values have been lost all over. I am glad the Minister has just talked about visiting other museums the world over and indeed I had the privilege of visiting some British museums where I found our Kenyan artefacts lying there and earning ... view

• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I am one of those people who have gone through this Bill, chapter by chapter, and I have some few remarks to make, that I need to be re-looked and amended, if possible. You know as much I do that these creatures are somehow shy. They are not as open as men are. view
