• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It would have been a toll order for me to have this Bill without commenting because as a banker by profession, I have so much to say although the time is limited. view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I aggressively support this Bill unlike my colleague from Mukurweini because it is so obvious ours is a developing country. With no job opportunities, our youths or affirmative persons groups have remained very desperate. The only alternative they have is to start businesses yet the banking sector has made it impossible to give an enabling business environment. view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The defaulters’ rate has increased. You will realise that most people who appear at the Credit Reference Bureau (CRB), are our youths. This is a bombshell in waiting. Graduates lack jobs, they get loans which they are unable to replay because of unrealistic interest rates and they end up in the CRB list. They get jobs in the Government or in any Ministry and when they want to clear their names, it is not possible. They get very frustrated. I tend to think that this could also result to our youths turning to radicalisation that causes insecurity. It cannot go ... view
• 1 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am very sorry. I was looking for my Seconder and he seems not to be in. So, I was negotiating with Hon. Maanzo to second me and he is in agreement. view
• 1 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: I am the Vice-Chair of the Mediation Committee on the County Governments (Amendment) Bill, Senate Bill No.1 of 2014. The Senate appointed Senator (Dr.) Bonny Khalwale, Senator Billow Kerrow, Senator Janet Ong’era and Senator Kipchumba Murkomen. This House appointed Hon. Daniel Maanzo, Hon. Timothy Bosire, Hon. Limo and I. view
• 1 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: The aim of the Mediation Committee was to try to bring a framework which could guide the county governments to remain within the Third Schedule of the Constitution, so that one day they do not wake up and transfer county headquarters from town “A” to town “B”. We found the following:- view
• 1 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: THAT, the Transition Authority had failed to classify urban areas and cities as they were leaving office as per Section 54 of the Urban Areas and Cities Act. view
• 1 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: THAT, the physical locations specified in the Schedule of the County Governments (Amendment) Bill are currently not urban areas since they are not yet classified as such by the Urban Areas and Cities Act, 2011. The determination of the physical location of the headquarters of a county government should not only be a preserve of the respective county government, but also the people’s representatives at the national level. The Mediation Committee identified Clauses 2 and 3 as being contentious and agreed on the following:- (1) Clause 2 be amended by inserting the following new definition on “city” and “urban” areas ... view
• 1 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this is the framework that we found most appropriate, so that in terms of transferring the county assembly, it remains a preserve of the people and the representatives at the national level, so that at no one time would the county government or the governor decide where the county government would be. We found it fit to put a framework in place which shall guide the transfer of any county headquarters in the event that the county government wishes to do so. A county assembly should, before passing this resolution, facilitate public participation as provided for by the ... view
• 1 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I wish to thank you most sincerely, your office and that of the Clerk, for giving the Members that you appointed, an opportunity to mediate between the Senate and the National Assembly. view
