• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Maybe you have several Bills in your hand, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the chance to add my voice to this important amendment. The import of this amendment is to ensure that before county assemblies are fully and duly constituted the nominated members are part of them. This being the first time we implemented this provision of the Constitution, there were a number of challenges. These nominations were done after the county assemblies had been constituted. In that case, the nominated MCAs were not able to participate in the election of their respective Speakers. At the same time, they were not considered for leadership ... view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: special interests but, we have realised situations where these nominations do not add any value to these county assemblies. We have seen some situations where some of the nominated MCAs are illiterate. So, you really wonder why if we are looking seriously for nomination we would go for someone who is illiterate. As we move forward in this important amendment, it is the work of parties in this country to make sure that we get the right nominations which add value to the work of the National Assembly and at the same time the work of county assemblies. With those ... view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to support this inclusion just as Hon. Gumbo has said. The issue of double taxation is a very challenging issue to investors. This inclusion is going to make sure that there is no double taxation. This is really going to be good for companies. So, I support. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. When you listen to the Committee Chairman and what Hon. Nassir is saying, I am tempted to support the Committee’s amendment. This is the reason: The Constitution provides for public participation. As we make laws, this House is being encouraged a lot to consult key stakeholders. I get really encouraged to hear that there was a serious discussion between the key stakeholders in matters of this nature and, more so, the public secretaries and accountants who interact with the companies that we are discussing here on day-to-day basis. I would plead with Hon. Nassir ... view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I wanted to speak to the earlier one, and not this one. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: 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
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the chance to congratulate my colleagues, Members of Parliament, for passing this important Bill. This law is very important to this country, more so with regard to our business environment. I am a happy Kenyan, knowing that those people who want to invest in this country have a legal framework, which is going to facilitate business and make investment in this country easier. That will result in Kenyans making more money and even creating employment for our youth. I appreciate that. I am happy to be associated with the 11th Parliament, ... view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Let me start by thanking the House leadership for giving the organising committee this level of honour by adjourning this House for a whole week, so that Members can participate in this 46th CPA regional conference. On my behalf, as the chairman of the organising committee, on behalf of the committee and on behalf of the Kenyan Chapter Executive Committee, I want to extend a warm welcome to all Members, and say this is an important conference for Kenya. We expect about 450 participants, and it is going to give a very good opportunity ... view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I am not sure whether Hon. Bowen is not misleading the House. I am a Member of that Committee and as late as yesterday--- Actually, as we speak, it is only one Bill which is pending before the Committee. We have not made a decision on it. We were there yesterday with Hon. Jamleck Kamau and he can confirm that. So, when he talks of a year, I am not sure whether you really--- Maybe, he needs to tell us which Bill he is referring to because we have taken care of all the Bills. view
