• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: By virtue of the fact that there was no demonstrated public participation, it appeared as if this was a scheme designed somewhere else to basically mislead the people of Kenya into signing something which was going to become a scandal in the making. More tellingly, the provision was that part of the Fund could be lend to intermediaries, also again smacked of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: conspiracy to basically direct funds to some people or organisation in good books with some Government officials, so that they can use that money as a pyramid scheme or shylock. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Indeed, as we stand now, Uwezo Fund has done tremendous work on the ground. As I speak, the Youth Enterprise Fund has touched the lives of the young people in the constituencies. Many of the small communities and women have benefited immensely from the Women Enterprise Fund. All these three Funds have had dedicated attention to the specific target groups. There is no harm in having them differently, but ensure that we have lean administration with minimal administrative costs. That way, we will deepen financial access to our communities much more than we have done today. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: As I speak, I have presided over issuance of cheques under the Uwezo Fund totaling to about Kshs2 million in my constituency. Our Fund has grown from Kshs18 million to Kshs30 million. It will be very unfair to kill such success stories at the expedience of some people who really look at it as if it is free money to loan to their friends for purposes of making abnormal profits. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: As I conclude, we seem to assume that the rural poor men are okay. The truth of the matter is that they are increasingly getting marginalised and frustrated because they have been denied access to soft loans. As we debate, probably it is important that we look for ways and means to ensure that our grandfathers and older members of society are able to access financial facilities under the same terms like our honourable ladies, enterprising youths and all the people who are targeted by these Funds. Let us not continuously disfranchise the men in society because if we do ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Motion for annulment of the Regulations. view
• 8 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to contribute on the Bill on sectional properties. For record purposes, this Act is an update or upgrade to the existing Sectional Properties Act. I suppose this upgrade is as a result of the intention to align it to the new constitutional dispensation and to take account of the emerging challenges in the registration of partial or fractional interests.

• 8 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: other variant management companies that run and operate these companies as if they are personal assets, at the exclusion of everybody else. The only things you receive are continuous and endless demands for service charge and other levies to pay some common services. Therefore, we need to make it dynamic so that there is a right to call for an annual general meeting or a special general meeting at any given time. That is so that we are able to run these corporations in line with the international best practices. Another matter that seems to have escaped the mind of ... view
