• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Chairlady, I wish to withdraw that amendment. view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As much as I respect the Minister, Dengue Fever is a very dangerous disease. People die within three days of contracting the fever if they are not treated immediately. Is the Minister in order to say that she will answer the Question on Tuesday next week? I hope, in the meantime, they are taking emergency actions. Could she clarify that? view
• 11 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance:- (a) whether he is aware that Ms Yugeri Insurance Agencies in Kisumu has been engaged in discounting and encashing cheques drawn in favour of third parties whose names do not appear on the cheques; (b) whether the entity has been authorized by the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) to engage in the business, considering it is neither a registered bank nor a financial institution; and, (c) how many such other organizations the Central Bank of Kenya has approved to discount and encash cheques in Kisumu District. view
• 11 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for the answer and, specifically, the way he has said very clearly that Yugeri Insurance Brokers Limited has not been authorized to engage in the business of encashment. Now that we have proof that the organization has been cashing not only bursary cheques, but even City Hall cheques, what does he intend to do about it? The Assistant Minister has not said what action he intends to take. view
• 11 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to mislead the House? The actual gentleman that he is speaking about - Mr. A.D. Okulo Okoth - was the gentleman who went to illegally encash the cheque. The question I am asking is: What is the CBK going to do about Ms Yugeri Insurance Brokers who has been discounting cheques? I am talking about Ms. Yugeri Insurance Brokers Ltd - the company - and not the particular gentleman who encashed one cheque. view
• 11 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has told us that the IRA is investigating that particular gentleman. But the question was: Was that gentleman carrying out illegal banking activities which fall under the CBK? So, what is the CBK doing about the owner of Ms. Yugeri Insurance Brokers Ltd? They should not be concentrating on a single individual who had cashed the cheque. Could he tell us what CBK is doing? view
• 11 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for donating time us to contribute to this debate. This is a great Bill and it has come after the Police Service Bill and the others. Our Police Service is one of the best that we have in Africa. If you go to see some of the bad ones, then you will realize what we have. However, we have beaten them, called them corrupt and so many things. I think now it is time that with the oversight authority, we will weed out some of the bad apples. ... view
• 11 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: , who have been suppressed sometimes and whose complaints are not attended to. Sometimes they are punished for no reason. This is something which will enable us to restrict Administration Police (AP) and regular police officers, and especially APs. These are very qualified police officers but we post them to residential homes as askaris. That is one thing I have been urging during every contribution I make that we must stop using APs as askaris . They are not askaris . They are highly trained and experienced officers. view
• 11 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, one of the requirements for appointment to the Board is 15 years experience in various fields of specialisation. What about the youth? Every time we provide for 15 years experience as qualifications for appointment to a public body, we automatically cut out the youth. That is not possible. We are trying to bring the youth on board, and we must have them on board. view
