• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: We need to ensure fast-tracking of pensions payment is encouraged and effected in this country, so that our people do not suffer. Currently, we have the Public Service Superannuation Scheme which is a good thing, of course, for those who are below the age of 45 years and those who are above who are also part of the current pension scheme. So, definitely, they have some of their money in the previous pensions’ scheme. There should be clarity on how they will get their money. This is because the money they are aware of is under the Superannuation Fund. Yet, ... view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to also support this important Bill. I also want to commend the Government for coming up with this Bill, so that we can strengthen KIRDI. At the moment, that is lacking. For it to become stronger on a piece of legislation, it needs to be a substantive law. This Bill will create KIRDI in a very substantive manner and it will become semi-autonomous. It will also be innovative in its operations. This is a good start. I know many Members have raised issues that have been left out such as ICT. ... view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: dismissed and I believe KIRDI will participate strongly in ensuring that what we have as future policy of the bottom up economic model will be anchored in KIRDI, so that it can assist the small man. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you so much. I support the Bill and I hope we will pass it with amendments. view
• 21 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I arise to ask the Chairperson, Teachers Service Commission (TSC):- (i) Are there plans by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to fund the recently introduced refresher course and Teachers’ Progression Development (TPD) training module? (ii) What is the legal basis for arriving at the Kshs6,000 fee for the said courses? (iii) Could the Commission confirm if TPD training will be a factor in determination of teachers’ promotions? (iv) Could the Commission also explain whether public participation was effectively carried out in the development of TPD modules considering the inadequate human and material resources and correlation between content ... view

• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairlady, please be looking towards this side also. Concentration has been more around the front. This amendment is assuming that NHIF will not be having creditors. I believe creditors are also entitled to recover their money in one way or the other. I do not know if we are trying to prevent the assets from being liquidated. Are we giving the creditors access to their bank accounts? This is because if there are suppliers who have supplied various items and have not been paid, they are surely entitled to look for their money either through the ... view

• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: I tend to think it is not well refined. It simply sounds good but it is not the right one to be brought here. I thank you. view
• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: This amendment is major and I hope it is not meant to shield that Fund from competition. Now that we have made a law which will ensure it gets proper funding, why not allow it to compete with others? Already, we have given it two advantages, and then we are adding exemptions. I think there should be an element of competition. Look at Kenya Power, it is not having any competition and that is why it is very inefficient. There should be something to bring a bit of competition in this industry. I believe allowing a little bit of The ... view
