• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: this is not in vain. The Youth Enterprise Development Fund was a classic example where we had representatives from the National Treasury, representatives of the Principal Secretary (PS) for Devolution in the Board of the YEDF. All the evils that were being perpetuated by the board and the management of that Fund were in full glare of these State officers. That is why we are saying that when you sit as a State officer in a board of a State corporation, you are there to oversee its operations on behalf of your CS and PS. That is why we are ... view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. While I completely agree with the Leader of the Majority Party, I was just consulting with Hon. Tonui. I wish there was a proviso to specify that the proposed exemption is just for public schools because as the Leader of the Majority Party said, that provision is likely to be abused by private schools, who charge our children exorbitant school fees. They can afford these buses even if their costs were to increase by 20 per cent. Therefore, without that kind of proviso to specify that the exemption is for buses being bought directly ... view

• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The amendment seeks to exempt VAT on Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders because the majority of our people in this country are very poor. Over the years, they have depended on wood fuel and other forms of solid fuels for cooking. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: We increased taxation on kerosene in last year’s Finance Bill and this has made life very difficult for many people. This exemption will encourage our people to use more LPG. In a recent survey by the World Bank, it was said that about 87 per cent of Kenyans depend on solid fuels as their primary source of fuel. Therefore, I urge Members to support this amendment because LPG is very clean energy. Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal can tell you the health risks that come with the use of charcoal, wood and Kerosene for cooking. They are very detrimental to our health ... view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, having consulted with Hon. Jude Njomo, who was a proponent of this amendment and the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade, I wish to withdrawal these amendments. However, as I do so, it is important in relation to the issues that have been raised in Clause 18, which we have just voted against, regarding the National Treasury usurping the powers of this House on matters to do with East African Community Protocols. They have been varying and giving wavers and tariff variations under the East African Community Protocols without the approval of ... view
