• 28 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think there was a technical error and my slot was taken up. Nevertheless, it is good to have a chance to contribute to this amendment Bill on the Finance Act. view
• 28 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: In business, one of the major challenges has always been finance and financing for business enterprises. In many cases, the small and medium enterprises have had a challenge has been rightly put by the colleagues who have spoken before me. One of the greatest challenge has been accessing financing from the banking sector. We had “unbankables” before banks like the Equity came into this country. It is those who could not be banked. Consequently, they could not access financing. The purpose of this amendment to create a Credit Guarantee Scheme is to allow the SMEs that have no credit history ... view

• 28 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: small money like Ksh5,000, Ksh10,000 and Ksh15,000, to sprite up their businesses. Otherwise, if we leave it the way it is, rest assured it will be monopolised by the bigger players in that category in a few years to come. We would have lost. Meanwhile I support. view

• 2 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Refugees Bill (National Assembly Bill No.62 of 2019) before us. Kenya has always been a safety haven hosting families that run away from chaos in the neighbouring countries, especially Somalia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

We should focus on the good tidings of refugees instead of focusing on problems. Since they run away from problems, initially they will be a problem. I agree with my colleague ... view
• 2 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: better than the local communities. This Bill, after being refined, should address those challenges and fears, so that refugees are not seen as a nuisance, but as part and parcel of the problems that we, as members of the national community, must bear for the purpose of offering humanity. The Bill is gender administrative in nature. It provides administrative institutions to manage refugee affairs from handling applications all the way to integration of refugees. However, there are a few issues in the Bill that need to be addressed. First, is Clause 20 that deals with women and children. I hope ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand in solidarity with the affected families. The right to property is enshrined in Article 40 of the Constitution. Whoever wants to defeat that protection and the Constitution, as we say in law, whoever alleges, must prove it. The only instance where such a right can be defeated is where fraud can be ascertained. Hon. Speaker, Sections 25 and 26 of the Land Registration Act reiterate the same position. Fraud, illegality and unprocedural process are the only reasons under which the right to property can be defeated. I want to urge the Committee that is ... view
