When you look at our currency fluctuations and stability which has been a bit stable in the last couple of months, you realize that we are not able to cushion that against imports and profitability vis-à-vis what ... view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for catching your eye. I was just calling upon the Leader of the Majority Party because he has not touched on the amendment to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission Act. view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I want to, indeed, commend the Committee for delivering this Bill to this House. I think this heralds a big opportunity for this nation to finally stand on the ground that we are, indeed, a wealthy nation. Planning this wealth is not to procrastinate, it is just to put the mappings which they have put in place, which I think will take us far. As I look at the proposals such as the establishment of a minerals exchange, I think it is imperative to look at it from the perspective that ... view

• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the futures market will provide an avenue that ensures that the people who prospect, the communities and the counties, in line with our new Constitution, get this benefit immediately. This will be actualized by having the mineral exchange market being enacted as a special economic zone so that all these players within the regions and within and without our country come and consider Kenya as a mineral hub for the international market. The minerals that we have are instrumental in driving industrialization not just in Kenya but around the world. We will be moving this and ... view

• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: With the establishment of the National Mining Corporation, we will be moving the capital and we will not be left to be arm-strung by multinational corporations which after seeing that we do not have the necessary capital take advantage.

If we look at all these things holistically, I think the Mining Bill will take us a notch higher in actualizing the dream of this nation ... view

• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: The Chair of the Departmental Committee on Environmental and Natural Resources alluded to the fact that the necessary safeguards will be put in place and that all these controls will not be vested in individuals who will be tempted by corrupt tendencies.

This is where people can participate through developmental units. They can pool what has successfully been done for the last 50 years in our nation; that is little capital ... view
