• 27 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: country. Going forward, I am sure we can do much more as MPs and as NG-CDF committees in advancing IT agenda in our localities instead of going through this very expensive route of partnering with… view
• 13 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, 2018. I want to start with the proposed amendments to the Cooperative Societies Act. Having gone through them, I wish to depart from the many arguments that I have heard in this House, especially on the proposal to create special funds within SACCOs. Reading the intent of the same, I have seen that one of the roles of the said special fund is to provide start-up and early stage finance to an eligible person with respect to viable innovations and ... view
• 13 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Fortune 500 who have headquarters in Silicon Valley. Without the initial funding and the seed capital, those companies would never have seen the light of day. We also need to expand our capital markets to support the same amendment being proposed in the SACCO Societies Act so that we can have more venture capitalists and private equity funds who can provide the much-needed capital, especially for ideas. There are scanty sources for this kind of funding. This is a very critical amendment as far as I am concerned. Going back to Silicon Valley, there are people called the PayPal Mafia. ... view
• 13 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I support the amendment as proposed. view
• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute to the debate on the Report of Special Funds Accounts Committee, led by Hon. Kathuri. I have gone through the Report. Before I come to the specifics, we are talking about political parties which are our vehicles of democracy. I am sure that even the Report we are discussing now is geared to strengthening the content. The monies that we give to political parties are in line with strengthening our democracy. view
• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Sir Winston Churchill said that democracy is the worst form of government except for any other. In a way, I tend to side with him because I always tend to go through history so that I know where we are, the status we are in as a society and even the best way we can move forward as a democracy, nation and an economy. There are so many examples that support that quote by Sir Winston Churchill because there is a very clear correlation between a strengthened democracy, liberalism, pluralism, growth in the society, improved livelihoods and standards of life. ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Therefore, it brings about all talents and minds in the growth of the society because democracy enhances meritocracy. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the consultations are too high but I am trying to cope. view
• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, when we open the arena for everyone, unlike when we have nobilities and certain classes, we are able to get the best from many other people. The opposite is the case when we have a closed system where the leadership can only be chosen from a certain class or family, as it was before the advent of democracy. There are so many examples to cite. If you go through the history of Europe, real growth in Europe, especially in the United Kingdom (UK), came about after the glorious revolution, where a new set of laws advanced people ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is a small country in Africa that embraced democracy ahead of other African countries. I believe that it is not a coincidence that the same country is doing much better economically, socially and in all other areas of life as a nation. view
