• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support this Senate amendment. I think my colleagues, the Mover, the Seconder and Hon. Duale have already done a good job in terms of what the law requires. Moreover, this is what I want to say. Th Division of Revenue Bill discusses the issue of practical allocation of resources. In this case, we are not having issues in terms of what the national Government gets and what county governments get. The issue is at the lower levels where we are asking: "How much does this particular county get in terms of allocation?" ... view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I support Chair of finance. Even as we do so, it is unfortunate that the Government could at this time be thinking about increasing the prices of basic requirements like milk. That is why we were saying earlier that in some of these amendments, let us not confuse the Finance Bill which is coming next week with what we are doing today. I really support and thank the Chair for stopping that kind of amendment. view

• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Committee for this kind of amendments, where you are deleting some of the proposals. My heart goes out to the tourism sector. We all know what has happened. When I see the sector being considered, I feel happy. As a House, moving forward we might have to think about a special fund to support this sector. I support. view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. With all due respect to the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, the issue of Railway Development Levy needs further consultation; more so, with the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing. It will not be fair to bring it at this level, through this kind of a Bill. view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will be very brief because a lot has been said by the Members. I only want to say what has not been said. view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: In terms of supporting Kenyans who are exposed as a result of COVID-19, we have the traditional vulnerable groups. These are the elderly, orphans and widows. However, there is a new group which has come up which is very vulnerable as a result of COVID-19 and these are people who have been sacked from their employment. People have been told to remain in their houses and they are saying that they are dying because they have no food. With these resources, we urge the Select Committee on the Prevention, Response and Management of COVID-19 to immediately take action and support ... view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Lastly is the issue of stimulating the economy. If you look at this Budget, some money has been set aside to construct water pans, boreholes and some access roads which are very important in stimulating the economy. My appeal is that these kinds of economic activities which can jumpstart the economy should be implemented immediately. Finally, Kenyans are the kind of people who think about corruption when they see money. I want to appeal to the accounting officers and anyone else who will be in charge of these resources that this is not the time to think about how much ... view
