• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. There is need for clarification. When I rise to ask Questions here, I do so on behalf of the people of Rabai. As you initially pointed out, everything is put together as Disco Matanga . We, in Rabai, are being stopped from mourning the dead and performing our cultural practices that we know. Chang’aa drinking is considered as part of Disco Matanga . view
• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: We respect the Muslims and other people’s ways of doing things. The reason I rose to ask the Question is because this order was given in Kilifi County. When you go to the neighbouring counties, people mourn their dead overnight and they have no problem. That is why I am questioning the validity of the order because there was no gazette notice. It is a crime to mourn the dead in Kilifi County. You cannot criminalise an action in one county when the same is being done in other counties without any problem. So, we need to know the validity ... view

• 6 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support Hon. Nassir for this statement. Indeed, as my colleagues have averred, this is a very retrogressive directive. This is a country governed by democracy and liberalisation of the economy is a tenet of democracy. Whoever gave this directive should come out clearly and tell Kenyans why he wants to take this country back to where we were before democracy set in. As a result of such directives, many towns, not only in the Coast region, but along the Mombasa- Nairobi Highway, have come up as a result of the transport business that ... view

• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want the House to appreciate that the power to legislate comes from the people and it is vested in Parliament. The President making many reservations is not good. This might not be the last one. Today, we are grappling with the KPA matters or those of KNSL. Tomorrow, it will be matters of the KQ, or matters about interest capping. So, as Parliament, we need to recapture our line of duty. Articles 94 and 95 are very clear on the role of Parliament. The President is only allowed to make reservations. However, if ... view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. First and foremost, I thank my friend Hon. Waititu for introducing this good amendment Bill that is long overdue to the Kenyan people. view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: This amendment Bill will go a long way in curing the lacuna that has been in the law of contract where banks and lending institutions have been going for anybody in the list of guarantors to offset a debt that is supposed to be paid by the borrower. Kenya is a society that people have faith in friends and colleagues thus they guarantee them to borrow out of good faith. We know the people we guarantee, but what has been happening is that you guarantee somebody without the knowledge that sometimes you could be getting into a collusion of some ... view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: taking a loan, be it from Kenya Women Finance Trust (KWFT) or from a bank, they give collateral in the form of what they own. For us who guarantee these people, we know them, so before banks come to a guarantor should involve the guarantor in pursuing the borrower. But what has been happening is that people collude and before you say realise you see auctioneers in front of the House of the guarantor taking everything thus disorganizing the family of the guarantor who did it in good faith without blinking. view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: As it has been mentioned, here in Parliament, we do not turn the other page of the loan form when we guarantee our colleagues for Sacco loans. We are just shown where to sign and we do it without even knowing how much the colleague is borrowing. We do that in good faith, but it has been abused. That is why today everybody who has risen to contribute has congratulated Hon. Waititu because in the event of default, we know the colleagues we guarantee and know they are capable of paying. If a guarantor is contacted or given a notice ... view
