• 16 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. Mine is on the response given by the Majority Leader. First of all, I would like to thank the Government for making inroads in digitization. I was very skeptical but I am now happy that this is actually coming to pass. view
• 16 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: In the Statement, the Majority Leader has talked about the tender. I would like him to clarify why we are trying to reinvent the wheel when we have seen our neighbours implement a similar programme? That programme is actually led by a Kenyan. I am not saying that it should be a single sourcing kind of tender but I hope that they are considering the One Laptop per Child programme. Secondly, he touched on the issue of the mobile computer labs. That idea came up during the Tenth Parliament, as my brother, Eng. Gumbo said, but it never took off. ... view

• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am also a member of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade and it has been really quite heartwarming, the way we have engaged with the private sector and other participants. At the end of this, we hope that the financial services and other such related services are going to be streamlined. I know thereafter we are talking about the Insurance Act as well. So, this is all going hand in hand. I want to thank the Chair because he has allowed everybody to participate in the debate. I now beg that ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Bill. A lot of Bills have come through the Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade with the purpose of harmonizing financial services both with the Constitution and the requirements of the East African Community Protocol. The insurance business has been very difficult to understand. There has been self regulation for a very long time and a number of what we call cowboy companies came in and have hoodwinked a number of Kenyans. With the tribunal being set up and the powers that it has been given, we hope that the ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: The insurance trade has been open to a lot of criticisms. The operators have complained that there have been a number of fraudulent claims. So, as much as we want to support the mwananchi, with a stronger system which is institutionalised with specific guidelines and benchmarks, the insurance trade will improve its standards. Like the banks, the insurance companies take advantage. I do not know of any other place where insurance firms charge so highly for the public service vehicles (PSVs) and other motor vehicle insurance covers. We hope that with the East African Community having opened up, there will ... view
