• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to support the Bill. One thing I like and appreciate about the ruling is that it was in agreement that this is a good law for Kenyans. That is why they could not repeal Section 33B but gave guidance on how to have some clarity on some issues. One of the issues that clarity was being sought is on the issue of the credit facility. Had it remained the way it is, then the section would have given banks a leeway to apply higher interest rates on financial guarantee which would ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: charge interest rates which are more than 14 per cent, whether they are macro or micro-finance institutions. The other issue about this Bill, as now amended, is that it conforms to the Constitution because it also affects both the borrower and the lender. One of the areas that the court identified as a bit unconstitutional is that the Bill seemed to give a punitive aspect to the lender and left the borrower. If you borrow money from a financial institution on terms that contravenes what this Act provides, you are also culpable. Because a lot has been said about this ... view

• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will be very brief because every Member who has contributed is supporting the Committee in the annulment of the Regulations. Every law that we make in this this Parliament must follow the laid down procedures and must also adhere to the Constitution. If the Committee, after finding that the Cabinet Secretary or whoever brought the regulations never followed the laid down procedure under Article 118 of the Constitution in respect of public participation, then the regulations must fail. In considering every legislation, public participation and involvement must be taken into account. As I ... view

• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to this Motion by Hon. Waluke. The issue of provision of incentives to potential investors in this country is very key. It is also important that investment promotion and encouragement of investors from outside be also tied to utilisation of the local products. It is a bit unfair that sometimes we encourage investors in this country, but most of the products that they use, including EPZ are usually imported from outside. You find that these are people who enjoy tax rebates for many years and they are also paying ... view
