• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: One of the issues which has come out of this debate and caught my ear is the challenge for counties to begin generating local revenue that will help them grow so that over-dependence on the national Government can reduce. We hope that going forward we are going to see more counties working to ensure that there is enough business going on and a friendly environment for investors so that they can attract revenue from licences et cetera . We should not burden the already heavily burdened taxpayer but look for ways which will encourage people to pay revenue which will ... view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I want to thank all the Members and appreciate the many ideas which have come forth and more importantly appreciate the fact that this House does recognise the need to continue giving full support to devolution, so that our country may change and develop.

More importantly, the PSC created a pension fund for ... view
• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: It is important that we support the 160 plus members who never made it back here because the reality is that an average of 70 per cent of Members go back home.
