• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: On the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF), a number of Members approached me about it. I want to confirm that there was a proposal in this Second Supplementary Estimates to cut the fund by Kshs10 billion. Having looked at that matter and following engagements with the National Treasury, we realized that almost 90 per cent of Members have spent beyond the Kshs34 million that had been cut from their own accounts and committed. Some have spent way beyond what would have been cut. Therefore, since there were commitments, the Kshs10 billion has been ploughed back. Therefore, there is no ... view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me begin by thanking Members for the resilient to be here until 10.00 p.m. Those who say Members of Parliament are not working, I hope they are watching to see the many Members of the National Assembly who are here, late into the night, to make sure the Supplementary Appropriations Bill and the Tax Laws (Amendments) Bill are passed. I appreciate the valuable input that has come from Members. Members did hear the input from Hon. Mutunga, the Member for Tigania West, on issues touching on data. At a time like this when we are ... view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: you are a pig farmer like me. That data ought to help the Government in planning. Therefore, there is no reason to ask Nyumba Kumi heads and chiefs to go back and identify vulnerable and needy families in the villages. You should have gone back to your data if you were really serious. I must note that there are Cabinet Secretaries in this country who have made it a habit of just doing public relations work with the President and the people of Kenya. Even recently, there was one with Google balloons proposal. I do not know what value that ... view

• 14 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Indeed, even the Budget and Appropriations Committee, as Hon. John Mbadi indicated, we had occasion, amidst this crisis, to meet and deliberate on some of the proposals that have been made including the one on VAT. view
• 14 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Even as I support, I sound a word of caution. Newton’s Third Law of Motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Indeed, even as the Government and other governments around the world seek to institute measures, some that may be popular with the public because they are very good, there are others that might be counterproductive. In particular, I want to sound caution on the reduction of VAT from 16 per cent to 14 per cent. Those who sit with us in the Budget and Appropriations Committee and those who sit in the Departmental ... view
