• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to reply. First, I want to thank Members for the support they have given to this Bill. It has received overwhelming support except for a few instances where Members want to clarify something. I quickly looked at one of the cases of zero-rating. In economics, zero- rating to supply reverse to items that are taxable, but the rate of tax is nil on their input supplies. The term is applied to items that would normally be taxed under valued added systems such as goods and services. In ... view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity to make a comment on this. I would like to say that the budget-making process is a serious business for Members of Parliament. Because of my discomfort, I would like to suggest that on these proposed amendments, each item should be given a Vote on its own. We should vote for each one of them. They should not be brought as guillotine. There are two items that I would like to draw your attention to. One, which is important to us, is the Centre for Parliamentary Studies. We commend the efforts ... view
• 14 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the chance to also make my observations on this Petition. We have so many problems regarding the transport system in our country. In fact, in dealing with this Petition, the members of the Committee should cover all the areas related to transport, including recommendations for a proper modern transport system. Even the rescue and fire brigade teams that rush to accident scenes are not properly equipped to help the victims. Kenyatta National Hospital is the only public facility with an emergency wing. There is no other place. Some patients have been taken to ... view
• 9 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to contribute to this. Before I make my contribution, it is important that the issue raised by Hon. Nicholas Gumbo be addressed. The Chairperson is seeking for the inclusion of these insertions into the Budget. Can he make it clear whether this was omitted? There was no provision for these activities being introduced by the Chairperson. Looking at those provisions, they are the real and substantive issues for which Parliament is here for. This seems to have been an afterthought. It is very important that the Chairperson clarifies this. We now ... view
• 9 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: are not forthcoming in many areas of Parliament. You go to the health club, there are no services. You claim for mileage, but there are no funds. These days we travel without allowances. If funds are being provided, where is the problem? The functioning of Parliament is not proper. These are the issues which must be addressed and sorted out in the Budget-making process. This is very important. When the Chair seeks to introduce this amendment as an afterthought, then that is very serious. It means that we are not giving this important institution of the country the priority it ... view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Anasema “Ndugu”? view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Asante kwa kunipa fursa niseme machache kuhusu Ombi la Mhe. Lelelit. Kabla sijasema langu, ningependa kumuambia na kumuhimiza Mhe. Mbunge wa Emurua Dikirr kwamba “petition” ni “ombi” kwa Kiswahili; sio “petishoni”. view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hata sisi tuko na shida ya mashamba kule Bungoma. Tumekuwa tukiomba kuwa hatua ichukuliwe kutatua shida ya mashamba inayotokana na unyakuzi ambao umefanyika katika nchi yetu. Hayo mambo yaangaliwe na shida itatuliwe mara moja. Asante sana, Mhe. Spika. view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this important Bill. Because of time, I would like to go straight to the point. Ranking is important because it does not only identify the performers, but it gives encouragement and motivates them to sustain good performance. It also identifies the areas which need to be improved. Where schools have not done well, we endeavour to identify the reasons for non-performance. If it is lack of teachers, we seek to deploy teachers. If it is lack of infrastructure development, the problem is ... view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Therefore, ranking helps us to evaluate ourselves to see how we have performed and where there are difficulties, to put in place remedial measures. Where we have done well, we reward and ensure that those that are doing well are motivated to keep up those performances. In short, I strongly support his Bill and commend my younger brother, Hon. Wamalwa, for bringing this important Bill for enactment by this House. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
