• 3 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: If you look at the Constitution, you realise that Article 223 comes after the issue of the Appropriation Act. This means that the spirit is that even as you implement Article 223, Parliament would already have appropriated resources. The intensive use of Article 223 is abuse to the budget-making process. So as to take care of the fiscal deficit, I would urge the departmental committees to look at the whole budget and find areas where we can reduce what is already in the Budget so as to accommodate these expenditures arising from Article 223. In reality, the spirit of the ... view

• 3 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, let me also join my colleagues in thanking the Committee for this important Motion more so on the issue relating to double taxation. We have said it here that taxation is a good evil. This is because for a country to develop, you must tax. So, it even gets worse when it is double taxation. Any time you tax, you either increase the price of a good or you increase the cost of production through Value Added Tax The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

As I listened to my colleague from Molo talking about Mauritius, I realised that the more attractive you make your country by having a favourable tax regime, the more you attract investors. That is why we are saying that through this Motion, we can easily make our country as attractive as Mauritius. When an investor wants to decide whether to invest in Kenya or Mauritius, the first thing they would look at is ... view

• 26 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to second this important Procedural Motion. Just as the Chairman has noted, this Petition generated a lot of interest. Since it is a Petition focusing on insecurity in Marsabit County, the Committee had to interact with many stakeholders. The more we interacted with the stakeholders, the more we got new information and the more the need for further consultation became apparent. With this situation, as a member of the Committee, I request the House and your office to allow us more time so that we can get to the root cause of insecurity in that area. ... view
• 26 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is our tradition that when the House proceeds on recess in December to February, most of the activities of the House are suspended. It would make sense if it is after we resume because we will not do much during the recess. view
