• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to support this Petition. Three months back, I brought a Question which was answered before the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. Many a time, compensation is being approved and some requests are being thrown out for reasons which people do not understand. In Meru County, we have claims of over Kshs212 million. From that, only Kshs66 million has been paid. Over Kshs140 million is pending bills. As per what Hon. Duale was saying yesterday, the Treasury and other Ministries need to make a point of paying those pending bills. For how many ... view
• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Over the past nine years, the only amount of compensation which has been paid is only Kshs1.7 billion whereas the claims amount to more than Kshs5 billion. So, the Budget and Appropriations Committee needs to look at this matter so that people are paid on time. The other point is that KWS needs to get serious because when people lodge their claims, they are not being told why the claims are rejected. We have to follow up and find out if there are small errors in the claims leading to their rejection. So, I wish to support the Petition and ... view

• 23 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: products, initially it was at 16 per cent. At the time I was in the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, we had objected to that and we did not pass it to Parliament.

• 23 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: If we are to assist our people, we need to remove VAT completely from fuel products. Otherwise, we are not going the right way. We need to reduce the taxes on fuel products as well so that fuel can become cheaper because that is what is going to move the economy of this country. If we can do that, the Chairperson, Budget and Appropriations Committee, can look at other ways on how we can get more money. However, by taxing people, we are not going the right way. We need to remove VAT completely. We should also not have VAT ... view

Eseli, has said, we should have put it in the budget long time ago. Blood transfusion is an essential provision of health care especially for vulnerable people such as women who experience hemorrhage during child birth, children suffering from severe anemia due to malaria, malnutrition and victims of trauma, accidents and other disasters. Patients who are ... view
• 23 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: has happened is that we are still being told from Independence, we only have six units in the country for blood donation. In the year 2007/2008, a bus from Loreto overturned near Suboiga in Meru and we lost about three girls and some lost their limbs. At that time, I was in the council and I tried to arrange to get blood for them. I had to call Embu and Nyeri because that is the closest we could get blood from. You can imagine the anguish the parents were in because we could not get blood for their children for ... view
