• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: engaged in collecting bribes from around 1982 to around 1983 to the tune of US$1 million. The Singaporean equivalent of the EACC started going for the Minister. Since he was the friend of the Prime Minister, he started reaching out for help in a way of patronage. However, President Lee Kuan Yew told him to, first, finish the business with the equivalent of the EACC of Singapore and then look for him afterwards. That Minister could not stand the embarrassment that came about with that kind of grave matter. Therefore, the gentleman committed suicide for embarrassing the Government of Lee ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: We also have to throw the ball to the Judiciary. This is because we can streamline all the other areas... view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the chance to contribute to this Bill. From the outset, I support Hon. Waititu for these amendments to the Law of Contract Act, Cap 23. When you borrow money from a bank and somebody guarantees you, the beneficiary of that money is not the guarantor. The beneficiary is always the borrower. Therefore, the buck has to stop with the person who enjoys the utility of the money. That person is the borrower. Therefore, it is only reasonable that before you go to take the assets of the guarantor, you have to first exhaust ... view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: As I wind up, I also think in our country we have to be honest with ourselves that a financial sector is always very much interlinked with how the economy is doing. The fact that we have very many defaulters in our country is a clear testimony that those people who are borrowing… As you know, you can only allow a commercial institution to come and take your property if you are totally unable. Therefore, it goes back to the point I am driving home. If you look at our newspapers the very many auctioneers are a clear testimony that ... view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the chance to contribute. This is a noble idea given the fact that in the world, we have so many nuclear plants. We have around 435 nuclear plants generating power in the world. Even the very developed countries have so many of such plants. The United States of America (USA) is leading with around 99. In France, 75 per cent of their energy generation is through nuclear power. On that front, it is a good idea that we come up with a law to govern and regulate that sector. There are ... view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: comparatively, nuclear energy is much cheaper than other forms of energy, especially in the generation of electricity. Also, it is base load energy because several other forms are erratic. Hydroelectric power is heavily reliant on whether there is a lot of water. Therefore, that is why electricity generated through nuclear energy is much more stable than other forms. In terms of pollution, comparatively by the incidences, it has low pollution especially given the fact that it is not a must that you can only generate nuclear energy through uranium. Thorium can also be used in generation of nuclear power. Therefore, ... view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: government agencies is a problem. We have Dandora in Nairobi. Disposing waste is a challenge across all counties in the country. Therefore, I do not think leaving it to private hands to generate nuclear power will be a very good trend for this country. I see that as a very slippery path given the fact that the work of a private entity is to maximise profits. If you have to go the route of generating nuclear power, this cannot be left in the hands of individuals or private entities. We can only guarantee this by having the Government of Kenya ... view

• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: Kiharu, JP): Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. Allow me to start with issues that are not very contentious. First of all, I agree with the amendments as far as the Tourism Act is concerned because it is just a matter to do with semantics. These are the key things we should be handling in the miscellaneous amendments by including universities. Previously, we only had Utalii College offering this kind of training, but now we have institutions burgeoning and many universities are offering courses in the ... view
• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have major problems on two amendments. One is on the Companies Act, and the other one is on the Merchant Shipping Act. One of the issues that I feel we need to look at is the amendment on the definitions of a small company. The kind of private sector we have in the country is dominated by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). We should be doing everything possible to support the small companies to transit from being small to medium and then to large companies. There are many advantages when a company is categorised as ... view
