Hon. Maero Oyula (Butula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to this Bill. I want to start by supporting it because it attempts to cover gaps related to money laundering and combating of terrorism financing. There were gaps in the laws...

Hon. Maero Oyula (Butula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to ask the Cabinet Secretary about the irrigation project that was started in Butula several years back, but it was abandoned because of technicalities.

Hon. Maero Oyula (Butula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to this Bill. I support these amendments.

Hon. Maero Oyula (Butula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I want to comment on the State Department for Correctional Services, which I think is underfunded. This is a very big department which does a lot of work. This department has been ignored to the point that those who work...

Hon. Maero Oyula (Butula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to support the annulment of the regulations on the coffee industry.

Hon. Maero Oyula (Butula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity to also comment on this Report by the Select Committee on Public Debt. This Report brings out all that Parliament needs to know as far as debt position is concerned. The Committee has done very...

Hon. Maero Oyula (Butula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Domestic debt is a big burden to this nation. The interest rate is high, at approximately 12–13 per cent and this encourages banks not to lend out money to the private sector, but to lend to the Government because they...

Hon. Maero Oyula (Butula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this Motion. I also thank the Mheshimiwa who has brought this Motion because it is timely. The Government of Kenya wants to lie to Kenyans. It knows very well that...
