• 17 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to support the proposal by the President. In the current legislation, there are provisions which allow that if the loanee has not got a job, they can always report back and be given more time. The proposal by the President is the right one. view
• 17 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, thank you for giving me this chance to comment on this proposal by the President. I want to support the President on this proposal because, first of all, the practical aspect of this is very difficult. HELB always meets to adjudicate on loans. When will the students get time to be sitting at HELB to be part and parcel of it? So, practically this is not possible. view
• 17 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Therefore, I support the President. view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I also support the proposal by the Committee, that the power should be vested in the CS.

• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I agree with this proposal by the Committee. Many a times, when we have mining in a community, you find that the investor brings people from outside and the local people are marginalised and cannot get jobs and yet, that asset is within their community. So, this amendment gives a guarantee that the people in the community can access jobs in this sector. view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I want to agree with the Committee because this issue is very tricky. What the Senate was proposing is that once a mining operation has ended, the equipment should be surrendered to the county government. This did not look very right to us; what will the county government do with the equipment? The Government has, or we have, created a NMC The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: within this Bill, which is supposed to carry out business in mining. So, we thought it is prudent to hand over the equipment to the NMC, which will continue because it will have the expertise unlike the county government, which will not have any use for that equipment. view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I second this Motion. I thank Hon. Chachu for doing an excellent job. This Bill has been with us for a long time. It is a very important Bill for this country. When enacted, this Bill is going to transform this country. It is going to change the economy of this country probably from agricultural to an extractive industry, for which this country has a lot of potential.
