• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. What I was saying is that, the reason why we introduced Question Time--- view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, there is a lot of consultation. Please help me to deal with that. The Leader of the Majority Party, I am on the Floor. Consultation is a bit too high. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: My apologies, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise on a point of order. As I said, the reason why we introduced Question Time in the Standing Orders is because we wanted to receive immediate responses from Cabinet Secretaries. Members will agree with me that this system is not working. On 4th July 2019 I rose to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture to respond to the issue of ownership of the nucleus land that is purportedly owned by Mumias Sugar Company. If you followed the news yesterday, it was reported that the Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) has now put Mumias Sugar ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I was just bringing you up to speed. There is some background information that you need to know. The reason I was asking this Question was because I expected immediate response from the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Agriculture so that when receivers like the Kenya Commercial Bank step in, we should know what they are coming to receive. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: It was an Ordinary Question, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning.

Duale was saying that one will take documents to Uganda, stamp them and then bring them here as if they originated from Uganda. If you allowed exporters to take off from Kenya, we would still get income from the taxation of the money that comes from outside as opposed to reducing motivation by ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Chair, as much as those clauses had not been indicated in the current Clause 1, we need to tighten it. The word “and” should come in between the new clauses that we are currently adding, so that the additional should be after the No.46. view
• 24 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me start by thanking the Departmental Committee on Education and Research especially the Chair, who has moved this Sessional Paper and the Vice-Chair as well. Allow me to send my condolences on behalf of the people of Mumias East and Kenyans who are watching me on television through the Parliamentary Broadcasting Unit (PBU) to the families who lost their young ones in yesterday’s tragedy. view
• 24 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: It is very painful since I am a parent of a number of students ranging from university to primary school level. I was imaging if I was that parent who lost their young one like those I saw in today’s newspaper. They took their children to school only to find themselves in a situation they did not create. Just as this Sessional Paper has mentioned through what I have heard from the Chair, it is very important for us as MPs to look keenly at the structures the students out there use for learning. I want to support this Motion ... view
