• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Remember that we are a country that is still exporting a lot of raw products. We never manufacture products to be able to export them in finished state that will fetch us more returns. Therefore, even the reopening of industries in those countries that demand our raw materials is still questionable. I am only trying to say that it is not certain that our external demand of our goods and services will be as envisaged, therefore, the growth projections even of our revenues is highly questionable. view
• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: When you talk about growth in domestic consumption, who are our consumers? The people to consume our products are our people who, today, we project that between two to four million of them have lost their formal employment. This means that they do not have disposable income to be able to consume goods and services. With some people having lost their businesses, some operating bars, restaurants and other businesses that cannot operate beyond 10.00 p.m. because of the curfew and even with the risk of a fourth wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic, how realistic are we in projecting that we ... view
• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: It is on this basis that, last year, when the estimates were tabled before this House in my last presiding over of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, I chaired a meeting that we decided as a Committee that we would send those estimates back to the sender because they were not reflective of the realities then. I am sorry to say that even this year, the estimates as tabled before this House which we are going to approve are not reflective at all, of the realities that we are confronted with as a country. It is not just the revenue ... view

• 19 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Let me begin by saying that I support the report of the Committee on Delegated Legislation to exempt KQ. I must apologise to the people of Kikuyu and Kenya at large because I came in a little bit late this morning and there was a rush to pass the earlier piece of delegated legislation on exempting Japanese companies and consultants. It may be a very bad pointer to Kenyans that we are now moving towards a regime of tax exemption. view
• 19 May 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you know I am not in the habit of clarifying things for people who are late. She was not even here in the morning. If she was seated here in the morning, she would have known that, indeed, there was a rush. view
• 19 May 2021 in National Assembly: Well, the time she came, she knows what happened in the morning. Indeed, what we have done with the business we transacted before this is exactly what happened in the morning. I was saying it is my regret and apologies to the people of Kikuyu and Kenyans at large. I walked into the Chamber late and by that time, we had The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 19 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. A lot of accolades have been spoken of the Chief Justice nominee, Lady Justice Martha Koome. I join other Members and Kenyans in congratulating her on her nomination and her selection by the Judicial Service Commission to serve as the first Lady Chief Justice in the Republic of Kenya. With all the accolades also, we saw a Petition from the President of the Law Society of Kenya, a petition that touches on a matter that relates to one of us here. The matter touched on M/s Erad Supplies and General Contract Ltd – a matter ... view
• 19 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It is only that I heard you say Hon. Mugathe and I was wondering who that is in this House. I think it was a mis-pronunciation of the name of the Member for Lamu County. I rise to support this Bill by the Leader of the Majority Party. Indeed, it comes at a very good time in trying to enhance what was enacted in 2013. It enhances efficiencies in the regulatory process of how we engage private entities to undertake public infrastructure projects in this country. This is one of the ways in which ... view
