• 18 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I oppose this amendment because I believe that this is a form of discrimination. In this House, there are hon. Members who have worked in the public service. They are enjoying their pension and are in Parliament. I believe this Bill is targeted at specific people – those who hold different positions from those they are going for. Once they are out there, they are simply aspirants. They are yet to attain their objectives. Once they attain those other positions, they will forego the pension. view
• 18 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I believe this amendment is discriminative and, therefore, I oppose it. view
• 18 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to also make my contribution on the approval of these nominees. view
• 18 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: First of all, I support these nominations and approvals. The due process was followed in nominating these people and vetting was done in a professional manner. These individuals are highly qualified. They can manage the economy of this country while at CBK. This is because the economy of this country is basically driven by the policies of the CBK. view
• 18 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I know these people will address the current thorny issues in Kenya, especially the issues of currency exchange rates. These issues were raised during the vetting process. I know everyone is currently pushing for the taming of the current inflation or the current exchange rates. view
• 18 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Those of us from tea-growing areas who rely on export of tea wish to encourage them to ensure that, at least, the shilling move towards the Kshs120 exchange rate against the US dollar so that we encourage export rather than imports. I believe this country relies too much on importation. We are building the economies outside while destroying the economy of the farmers in this country. These people should not go with that mind-set that they are going there to ensure that the shilling is strengthened because this will encourage importers. view
• 18 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: The issue of bank interest rates needs to be addressed. I believe these people will be capable of addressing this to ensure that there are cheaper sources of credit. Out there, interest rate rarely goes over 10 per cent while in this country it is around 22 per cent. For us to develop as a country, this needs to be addressed. view
• 18 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: From the qualifications, they are okay. I know some issues were raised on the Governor nominee, like on the issue of investment. I do not know if a Governor nominee who has no single investment, because that is what he stated in his CV is a good role model for people in this country in terms of investment. Does he have that great faith in the economy by not investing in this country? view
• 18 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is my position. Wait for your time and then you will say yours. view
• 18 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this Motion because the right process was followed. However, the impression which will be given to investors that somebody who manages the economy does not have that faith in it by not investing in that economy might not be good. So, once we approve him and he lands that position, I encourage him to start investing in this country so that he creates employment for our youth and make this economy stronger. I have also seen the CV of Madam M’mbijiwe and I think she is highly qualified. She is very experienced in the ... view
