• 31 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Yes! This Report should not have come before the Floor of the House before it is completed and before we have serious names that need to be discussed The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 31 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: before the Floor of the House. Otherwise, those who are mentioned should take the EACC to court for defamation and for spoiling their names. view
• 31 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Secondly, I applaud the President’s Speech. The President gave a good Speech. The Speech has given this country hope for the future. To hear that our economy is growing; to hear that we are the best destination for investment; to hear that every primary school is going to get electricity, is hope for this country. That is what we need. I would like to thank the Government for giving us - as hon. Members - an opportunity to give them the list and the names of schools that need to be given electricity. That is because we are the people ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: You are now listening to the mind of a runner and not a lawyer. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I really oppose what mheshimiwa is trying to do by deleting Clause 2 and support what hon. Kaluma is doing. What Kaluma is doing, as we have said, is to align the Act to the new Constitution. When you look at the old Constitution, it gives one parent superiority over the child. It says that the mother has a more superior chance of taking care of the child than the father. That is what the earlier law says, but it contradicts the new Constitution, which gives equal responsibility to both parents, whether they are married or not. view
• 24 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I will also follow your advice of taking as short time as possible. I will not go into much detail about the Bill. I have only two concerns that I want to raise today with regard to the issues that we are facing as a country through procurement. There is a reason why Kenya is not moving forward as we are supposed to. One issue that I am very concerned about since I became a Member of Parliament is the influx of foreign companies ... view
• 24 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: companies can borrow money from China at a lower interest rate than our companies who borrow from Kenyan banks. If a company in Kenya goes to a bank and borrows money, they are charged 18 per cent interest rate. If a Chinese company goes to China and borrows the same amount, they are charged five per cent interest rate. They come here and bid. According to our procurement laws, they end up being the lowest bidders and they get the contract. If you leave it like that, Kenyans will not be getting contracts. It will be for people from outside ... view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, what the Chair has said is a very big concern. This is because a Committee has written their concerns and has written to the Speaker of the National Assembly about how this Bill needs to follow the Constitution. However, I feel like we are ignoring it; the Speaker is ignoring the Committee’s recommendations. It is true that this is a Money Bill, but it seems as if we are ignoring what the Constitution calls us to do. It is not that nobody does not want the veterans and does not want to contribute to this Bill, ... view
