• 6 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Statistics (Amendment) Bill is trying to enhance and stamp the authority of law. It is given we will have census this month. Last time after the census, there was some interference with the statistics that had been collected. Census results in some sections of the county were not declared. This Statistics (Amendment) Bill will make anybody who tries to interfere with census results to have committed a criminal offence because he will have gone against the law. Sometimes, we have officials who sit in Government offices and they abuse their office by trying to ... view

• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this Bill. The object of this Bill is to cure the ambiguity in the law so that businesses can operate in a predictable and secure environment. As my colleagues who have spoken earlier than me have alluded to; many times people borrow with good intentions and those who guarantee them do it because they know the borrower. He could be a friend and they are very sure that he won’t default when they are appending their signature to that document. The primary objective of the lender ... view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Many times we have seen Kenyans are being fleeced by online borrowing which comes very easily. Somebody borrows money that he does not have any use for and then he ends up in the Credit Reference Bureau (CRB) where he is listed as one who has defaulted in paying debts.

These people do not warn you, but they just come for you. Sometimes we have seen people who borrow and they are guaranteed by institutions. The financial institution ignores the principal borrower and goes for the guarantor by, say, raiding his accounts. Then they tell ... view

• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Milemba explained about the Merchant of Venice . When somebody comes around and wants a pound of flesh which is closest to your heart and you are pleading innocent. It is very difficult for you to come out of that situation because you signed consent freely. Sometimes the financial institutions fail to warn the guarantor about the consequences because there is always a clause about it. Before the guarantor appends his signature, if the person who is dealing with those documents is a lawyer, he is supposed to show him the clause that warns about the consequences of being ... view
