• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: I was saying that the basis is just that the National Assembly, being the people’s representative, needs to have an opportunity to interrogate these PPP agreements. If we were in other countries, these agreements would be good to pass as they are where public scrutiny of agreements is open. I have stated without any fear of contradiction that we are in a country where State capture by the Executive is not imagined. It is real. There is actual State capture. Many of the PPP agreements that come into effect are agreements that are designed not for the benefit of the ... view
• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: I really want to beg, as I move, that we look into this issue devoid of emotions and politicking. We know where to politic if we want to. But, look at our role as MPs or as the people’s representatives and our oversight role as a House. I beg to move. view
• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: I said we remove that one because it is now moribund since 21A fell. That is why I am renumbering. view

• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: In the interest of time… Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, can you tell this Jubilee Whip not to try to intimidate me? view
• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: You know it is only you who can protect me, not the Leader of the Minority Party who is telling me that I am seated in the wrong place. There is no right place and wrong place. I can even sit where you are. I was saying, in the interest of time, I see time and the House having defeated the New Clause 59A and the others consequential to 59A, it will be a waste of the taxpayer’s time to even purport to be moving the other but let me express my disgust that the House has refused. I only ... view
• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: As I finish, I want to say that it has nothing to do with the three Arms of Government; it has everything to do with interdependence and oversight which is our role as people who are charged with the responsibility of oversight. With that, thank you for also protecting me from many of these people who are heckling with no substance. view

• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I was dejected because I had intended to delete the entire clause on Thin Capitalisation. As we have heard from the Chair, basically, the Thin Capitalisation she has talked about is in relation to banks and financial institution that make money from interest income. Even in the midst of this pandemic, it is only banks and financial institutions that are making a lot of money, profits in billions. I had also other amendments, but related to taxation of the interest income. Banks are minting billions from very vulnerable and poor Kenyans. I would have ... view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support. I want to encourage the Chairperson that in the next Finance Bill to vary this provision a bit. Two billion shillings in Kikuyu is not equivalent to two billion shillings in Moiben Constituency where Hon. Tiren comes from.It is because of the proximity of Kikuyu to Nairobi. We may need to have it in a varying format in the next Finance Bill such that even if you were to set up a factory in say, Marmanet Forest for Ksh1 billion…You should encourage people to go and set up factories there. ... view
