• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I would like to thank Hon. Mwinyi for the two minutes he has donated to me to speak on this important Motion. This Motion looks at the vulnerable and helpless people in the society. Access to the P3 Form should be free. With 50 years of Independence, we should embrace technology. We should have a way of making that form accessible to doctors. We should just put the P3 Forms on the website so that it is accessible to everybody. The doctor must be qualified to have the authority ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute on this very important Bill. From the outset, I would like to congratulate my colleague, Hon. Ochieng, for bringing this Bill to the House. It is timely. The main intent of this Bill is to provide a framework for building capacity and training of directors. In this country, very important bodies have been overlooked, particularly directors who sit in boards of parastatals. view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, once the proposed Institute is formed, it will regulate the management of public bodies. It will bring on board policies that will aid better control mechanisms within public institutions. There is an international organisation called the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, which was established in 1960 and it helps Governments to tackle economic, social and governance challenges. Its main objective was to promote policies that will improve the economic and social wellbeing of people around the world. If the Institute of Directors is set up in Kenya, there will be a paradigm shift in the ... view

• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand guided. Some organisations like Mumias and KQ have different stakeholders. Being public, the companies have shareholders who hold ordinary shares. In some organisations, there are preferred shareholders. In the event that a company becomes insolvent, the first victims to suffer the effects are the ordinary shareholders. Preferred shareholders are given preference in terms of compensation. It is important to restore confidence of this country in the management of institutions. This Institute has come at the right time and with it, this country will move forward. Some organisations will be very careful not to appoint ... view

• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support this amendment particularly removing the ambiguity of the term “reasonable time” and replacing it with a specific timeline which is 90 days. It is quite in order for this amendment to be done. view
• 20 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity to contribute to this very special Motion. Some of us travelled very long distances from our constituencies just to come and transact this business which is very important and key to this country. I would like to start by supporting the Motion. I take this opportunity to commend the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade and the Committee on Integration. They have worked really hard on this Motion. Today marks a milestone for this country because the ratification of this Agreement will put the country into another page. The Economic Partnership Agreement ... view
• 20 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: the European market is one of the benefits which this Agreement is coming along with. The flexibility or simplicity of the rules of origin will make Kenya export its products to the European market easily by opening the new markets for exportation of over 1,000 products. I would urge the Department of Trade to consider sensitising Kenyans on the importance of doing trade with the EU. This opportunity may be open to just a few people who are knowledgeable in matters of international trade. It is, therefore, important that Kenyans who are not well versed with international trade be sensitised ... view
