• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I also want to support this amendment as it is in order. If you are not there, somebody can be appointed to sit in your place. So, to me, this is a procedural amendment and I support it. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Additional information. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairperson, at times, when you go to the listing of the Bills on this other screen, you find that not all Bills which we are discussing are there. So, it becomes very tricky to follow the debate. I agree with my colleagues in terms of making sure that we speed up debate. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support this amendment. Even as I support it, it would be good practice that by the time we pass the Finance Bill, the Division of Revenue Act is also in place. It would be good practice. Otherwise, it would not be good from a financial perspective if we started passing the Finance Bill without the Division of Revenue Act in place. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I am tempted to request the Chair to retain it the way it is. The argument that has been forwarded makes a lot of sense. Marginalised areas are also in the urban settings. For instance, if you go to Nairobi’s outskirts like Kibera and Mathare, those guys there are marginalised. We would rather allow the four to be nominated on the basis of their expertise and professional competence. view

• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I plead with my colleague Hon. Kamket to drop this amendment. I wish he was listening. Leader of the Majority Party, please, allow Hon. Kamket to listen to what we are saying. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I plead with my colleague Hon. Kamket to drop the amendment. I am saying this because if this amendment was to be carried, you will put the board in a very awkward position in terms of relating with the Principal Secretary. It could have been better if you had said the Principal Secretary does regulations in consultation with the board. The way you have done it will make it very difficult for the regulations to be implemented. I think we should oppose this amendment. view
• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I agree with my colleagues that these amendments are very important to this country and more so, when they are targeted at improving the business environment. When this Bill was being moved by the Leader of the Majority Party, it was indicated that it is targeted at improving the ease of doing business. Hon. Joseph Limo and I had a chance of attending a workshop where this was being discussed. There is what they call the ease of doing ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: we only have two countries and if you look at the top 100, Kenya will come in. This law is going to assist Kenya to achieve the target. In that meeting, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Cabinet Secretary indicated that Kenya’s target this year is to at least be in position 30, so that we can be among the top 30 countries. During our discussion, some of the issues which the CS in charge of this area raised are being addressed by this Bill. That is why I get encouraged when I see the idea of going electronic, that is ... view
