Wanga and her team for the recommendation that in future, all regulations proposing increase of taxes or levies must be brought to this House, whether they are being approved or annulled. To me, this recommendation is very important. The second point is the issue of the Petroleum Development Levy.

• 14 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second this important Motion. This Petition by Hon. Duale was presented to the Committee as the Mover has said and was more of the issue of access to identification documents by the people of Garissa and its environs.

• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: other regions. The work of a Board is to offer strategic direction to the organization. I have no problem with it being in Kisumu, but I have a problem with it being given a chance to introduce other offices. So, let us just say that there will be a Board which will be headquartered in Kisumu and we stop it at that. The Board is just for strategic and policy direction and nothing more. view
