• 3 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance. I rise to contribute on the Central Bank (Amendment) Bill, National Assembly Bill No. 32 of 2014 by hon. Kabando wa Kabando. I must from the outset say that hon. Kabando wa Kabando is still advancing his talent of working for the common Kenyan. This Bill, upon its amendment in Section 45, seeks the lowering of the minimum investment amount and allowing Kenyans to trade electronically. I want to compare this with how the Mpesa was welcomed to this country by Kenyans. If you look at Mpesa, it is ... view
• 3 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this one is not only going to help Kenyans but will also tackle insecurity which we are currently now grappling with. The most important thing that Kenyans should know is that we need patriotism and loyalty for this country. If we give many Kenyans a chance to invest in these Treasury Bills and Bonds everybody will obviously be saying: “ Kenya ni nchi yangu na ni haki yangu kuwaMkenya .” We cannot afford to have Kenyans not being loyal. The other day I saw men and women in the Diaspora wanting to be given a chance ... view
• 3 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this Bill. Hon. Kabando wa Kabando, go ahead, we will support you in whatever you are going to do. Thank you so much. view
• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am just worried. Is the House in order to just say yes? How many Members have gone through this Bill, especially Clause 6(f)? view
• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Clause 6(f) says “take appropriate actions that aim at minimizing drought-induced risks and building drought and climate change resilience among communities.” Is that possible and is it implementable by the Government? Thank you. view
• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was just wondering whether we are subsidizing the efforts by the Nairobi County Government. Recently, when they were rolling out their strategic plan, they stated that they were going to address the issue of the Wakulima Market and improve on the public transport system. view
• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is a point of order. view
• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is why I had wanted to--- view
• 29 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, on the outset, I would like to say that liberalization must happen today because, looking at international air travel, we realize that Amsterdam and Paris have empowered themselves to become the hubs of Europe. All African couriers have to pass through there. It is high time that we, Africans, looked into how we can have our own hub. Kenya is trying but if you look at our national carrier, Kenya Airways, you will appreciate that they are not only enjoying a monopoly but they are also exploiting Kenyans. Kenya Airways is no longer the “pride of Africa” ... view
• 29 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Lodwar and Lokichoggio. We want to open all these airstrips so that Kenyans can enjoy. So far air travel is the safest. If we can improve our airstrips and liberalize the industry, air travel will become very cheap and Kenyans will save money and time. The sector will promote economic growth. Therefore, in supporting this Motion, I would like to urge the Government to liberalize local air travel as fast as possible and issue licences to other players in the sector. The Kenya Airways should be stopped from enjoying a monopoly. Thank you. view
