• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, there was a matter that was asked in this House. It was a Statement sought by the Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah on why Kenyan businessmen and businesswomen, it is more of traders, going to China are quarantined for 14 days when the Chinese are coming to our country in thousands, every evening. An Answer was brought by the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations but the House, through your direction, accepted that he said he had to consult the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Cooperatives. It has taken two months. When the British or ... view

• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: If the people going to China, who are small and medium-sized businesspeople, are quarantined for 14 days, what does that mean? This House must, through you, protect the people. The Chinese are now informally telling Kenyans: “use emails and telephones to talk to our people. Give business to our people. Do not go to China”. So, this Committee and this House must protect Kenyan citizens. So, I really want you to direct against this trade imbalance, this trade discrimination, that is happening to Kenyan businesspeople. This Government must do something, unless this Government is an appendix of the Chinese Government. ... view
• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am happy with the Chairman for giving us the chronology. However, I want your indulgence on two matters; one, there is a taskforce which was formed by the President and they have handed over their Report to him. Since this is a public document, you can direct that the Leader of the Majority Party first tables it here for the Committee to use, since it is very important. This taskforce was formed after I raised this matter. Two, the various IPPs are all companies registered in the British Virgin Islands, offshore and Pandora things and ... view
• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: The 12th Parliament will be remembered just like the way the 9th Parliament was remembered during the Goldenberg, Anglo Leasing and the death of Robert Ouko, because of the kind of investigations they did. Let the 12th Parliament be remembered for bringing to book the owners of these companies who stole close to Kshs400 billion for not supplying. As this Committee retreats, it should not do a cosmetic or public relations exercise. I have a lot of information and I am waiting for the Committee’s Report. This morning, I attended an online meeting and a presentation was done by the ... view
• 14 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This Committee has made a number of recommendations, from reducing petroleum levy to reducing VAT on petroleum products and LPG to reducing the gross margin for oil marketers. In my opinion, this Committee has tried its best to undertake this task within the shortest time possible but I want to raise fundamental issues. The proposed recommendation on reduction of petroleum levy from Ksh5.4 to Ksh2.9 fails to address the question of whether our country needs fuel pump standardisation or subsidisation programme and whether Kenyans should be burdened by that through payment of a petroleum ... view
• 14 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: formula, the solution they found was to cut the margin of the oil marketers. A recommendation should have come of a complete restructuring of the wholesale and retail petroleum fuel pump prices formula to ensure that all taxes and levies do not exceed 30 per cent of the pump price. I want the House to listen to me. When the Bill comes, all the levies and taxes that we are going to charge petroleum products must not exceed 30 per cent of the sale price. They are now over 50 per cent. We must reduce VAT on LPG to zero. ... view
• 14 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you need to be cognisant of the fact that this Motion has a timeline. You have to look at the timeline vis-à-vis Standing Order No.95. Have we consumed the time? view
• 14 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: There are Members who want to speak. Just because some of us have spoken, it is very unfair. This is a very serious matter. This Motion is ending at 6.30 p.m. I am waiting for the next Bill. If you can give each of these Members 20 minutes, all of them can speak. All of us will wait. We should be considerate of our colleagues. You need to be very fair to the House. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee regarding the status of public debt in Kenya and the national Government’s budgetary allocations for development programmes per county from financial years 2013/2014; 2014/2015; 2015/2016; 2016/2017; 2017/2018; 2018/2019; 2019/2020; 2020/2021 and 2021/2022. According to The National Treasury, the nominal public debt stock stood at Ksh7.74 trillion, which is equivalent to 69.07 per cent of GDP as at the end of June 2021. This comprises Kshs4.04 trillion external debt and Kshs3.70 trillion domestic debt attracting a ... view
