• 24 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: from one community and yet, we have people who are qualified. They should consider placement of students. On the quality of education, I think we have compromised the quality of education of our students because we are just doing mass production at the universities and yet, the quality of education is not there. We should emphasise on education quality. Our universities should offer research courses because those are the brains of our country. Any country is known for the research its universities produce. Concerning specialisation of our universities, they must specialise the way they used to before. For example, Kenyatta ... view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to add my voice on this very important Bill. At the outset, I support this Bill very much. This is because this Bill goes a long way in assisting the Government raise revenue to be able to finance the Kshs2 trillion Budget that we have. I want us to touch on a few issues that are of concern to me. First of all, I want to encourage the President to sign the Banking (Amendment) Bill that is on his desk. It is very important for that Bill to be ... view

What this amendment Bill intends to do is to remove the authority the CS has in ensuring that this Bill is operational. As my colleagues have said, it is three years since this Bill was passed by this House. The CS has slept on his job because he has not been able to gazette it. Maybe he has a hidden agenda. We do not know. I do not think it is important for the ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Those of us who benefit a lot from this sector know its benefits and the importance of this Bill being passed. There are many of these organisations roaming this country doing various things. Some of us who come from areas prone to insecurity, these organisations go and raise funds but ensure problems like cattle rustling do not stop. If they stop, they will not raise funds to keep themselves employed. So, it is important that this amendment Bill is passed so that the authority of the CS is removed. It is also important that the President assents to this Bill ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: As my colleagues have said, many of these organisations get a lot of funds from different sources and work in the rural areas where there are no Government services. Government officers do not reach those places to monitor the usage of those funds. If this amendment Bill is passed as soon as possible, the President assents to it and it is put into operation, it will ensure that these things are streamlined. There are many NGOs which want to bring things from outside the country such as furniture and equipment for hospitals in the rural area. They cannot bring them ... view
