• 22 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Mine is to support Hon. Lessonet’s Petition on resettlement of Emngunguny/Morgisis squatters. It is an awkward period for the Government now that it is removing people from their settlement areas and yet the rainy season is here with us. It reminds me of the situation which prevailed in the Mau Complex. When people were removed from the Mau Forest, they suffered a lot, especially during that rainy season. We in the Jubilee Government ought not to expose our people to such inhuman situations. They should be left to stay in the farms where they are. ... view
• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to support the Motion. I sit in this Committee and we vetted these nominees and they qualify for the position for which they have been nominated for approval. I saw Charity Kisotu whom I can associate with given that her teaching background is similar to mine. She also has CPA qualifications. This was a very good choice given that the marginalised regions of this country were considered. These nominees have passion for the job. They talked about bank interest rates. Kenyans have suffered a lot when it comes to interest rates. The ... view
• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: The good thing is that the CBK will have a Board of Directors who will give some guidelines to the Governor. We cannot stand the idea of the Governor who knows it all on issues finances. We can now have the Governor of the CBK guided by a Board of Directors. I only fear a situation where the Governor is required to make a prompt decision. Will he have to wait for The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: the Board of Directors to sit, so that they can make some certain decisions which are related to finances? That is a very important issue that needs to be addressed. view
• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: In terms of experience, all of them are highly experienced. I saw a former Permanent Secretary (PS), Madam Rachel Dzombo from Coast Province and she talked passionately about public service. She said that during her time as a Permanent Secretary, she ensured that her Ministry was nothing, but the best in terms of performance contracting. She performed very well. You could see passion flowing out of her and we could not deny her this position. We simply nominated her just from the way she expressed herself. view
• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: In terms of academics, none of them had less than a Bachelors Degree and accompanying Certified Public Accountants CPA(K) certificates among others. Even though Hon. Kaluma said they are quacks, I have watched him on television and what he expresses sometimes I doubt if they come from a real lawyer. In fact, I cannot employ him as my lawyer. view
• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: He normally interacts with those fellows in a very good way and I normally think he qualifies to fit in that general situation. In terms of issues of integrity, none of these people have been accused of any fraudulent activities. You can see in their CVs that they are people who have struggled to go through the system in a fair way. They gave us a breakdown of their net worth and based on their earnings, we saw these are people who have earned whatever they have in a proper way. They did not use any shortcut. Therefore, I support ... view
• 13 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support these amendments on CAK. I believe the key object of these amendments is to make the appointment of Commissioners to CAK move faster and in a more efficient way unlike the way it is being done currently, where it has to pass through Parliament. CAK is just a parastatal like any other where the Cabinet Secretary (CS) in charge of the Ministry appoints commissioners. view
• 13 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Therefore, we need to ensure that there is efficiency in the appointment of commissioners by ensuring that the CS for the National Treasury can be empowered to replace the commissioners in CAK in a faster way than bringing them to Parliament, which takes longer.

• 13 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: understand that vacancies in CAK have not been filled for nearly a year simply because of the process of coming to this House, where there is a queue. The business of this House can sometimes be a lot. I believe this is going to be a better way of appointing. On the issue of competition, we need to make the Authority more efficient in dealing with issues of competition, so that we can ensure that our consumers are better served in terms of the prices of goods which are purchased. I can see a situation, especially in the communication industry, ... view
