• 6 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Sometime last year, all Government agencies and departments were directed, through a circular from the Head of Public Service, to transport all their cargo from Mombasa using the SGR. There now seems to be a push by the Government to have all cargo received at the Port of Mombasa transported on the SGR. This is of concern as it is currently unclear how much railway levy is being charged per tonne of goods transported. There are fears that the final cost of goods will be affected and road transport companies will suffer. view
• 6 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: I, therefore, request the Government to providethe latest statistics on the cost and usage of the SGR and clarify who should use the SGR exclusively.

• 6 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This is about the guidance that you gave. The directive that was not even signed but appeared in a newspaper advert came from both Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) and Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). My request to you is that both the CS for National Treasury and the Commissioner General for KRA appear before the joint sitting of Departmental Committees of Transport, Public Works and Housing, and that of Finance and National Planning to explain their stand and why they are keen on killing the economy of so many towns. view

• 6 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to first of all thank the House for being able to adjourn to discuss this matter of national interest.
