• 30 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Thank you, Mr. Minister, for donating some of your time to me. I shall be very brief. I wish to support the Motion. I also wish to congratulate the Minister for a job well done as usual. I have not seen any Minister yet, while reading the previous copies of HANSARD, receiving so many accolades. So, I hope that it does not affect your future performance. In supporting this Motion, I wish to draw attention to the recent events about the prison warders and hope that there is provision for their increased salaries ... view
• 15 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir. I wish to support the Motion. First, I would like to congratulate the Minister for Finance for trying to bring improvements in this profession by introducing the Accountants Bill. As one of the old accountants in this House, I wish to support the Deputy Prime Minister's sentiments about the definition of "immediate family". I believe we will need to ratify that in the Committee Stage. With regard to the reputations of accountants, I would like to take exception with some hon. Members imputing that some members of the profession are dishonest. I wish to ... view

• 15 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: With regard to this Bill, it is my hope that it will be synchronised with Cap.470 of the Income Tax Act and Cap.486 of the Companies Act, as well as the Partnership Act so that the definition of an accountant in all those Acts match with the one given in this Bill such that we do not have some quacks practising as accountants and presenting figures to the Income Tax Department which are then allowed and cause many problems to assessors and eventually to the people who serve as professionals. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is my pleasure to support ... view
• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have had occasion to acquaint myself with the guidelines that the Minister is talking about and has extensively quoted. However, knowing how the school system works, could the Minister undertake to write another circular to clarify the issues as he has put them here, so that headteachers can rest assured that no child will be denied free secondary education as instructed by the earlier circular issued a day after he was appointed the Minister? view
• 20 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you very much. My name is Charles Onyancha from Bonchari Constituency, and I take this opportunity to thank you for giving me this chance to speak for the first time. I wish to first of all, congratulate His Excellency the President, Mr. Kibaki and His Excellency, Mr. Raila, for arriving at an accord which saved our country from imminent disaster. The establishment of the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission, which is imminent, and the proposed Ethnic Relations Bill will go a long way in healing the wounds of this country, which are the result ... view
• 9 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I strongly oppose the amendment on the grounds that we would like to discourage people who have not gone into smoking to get into the smoking habit. So, I strongly oppose that amendment. view

• 3 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Asante sana, Bw. Naibu Spika wa Muda. Nimemsikiliza Mheshimiwa akijaribu kubainisha kwamba kuna namna fulani ya uzalendo ambao tunaweza kupata tukitumia lugha zetu, kuliko kutumia Kiingereza. Ningemuomba aonyeshe kwa sababu hapa Bungeni, tuko na njia mbili ambazo tunaweza kuwakilisha fikra zetu. Ningemuomba aonyeshe mfano mwema kwa kutoa maoni yake kwa kuzugumza Kiswahili hapa. view
• 26 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Last time, I had just finished congratulating the Minister for Finance for putting up a Budget that would be called a pro-poor Budget. The Government has done well in coming up with the economic growth of 6.1 per cent. I think we need to congratulate the Government for this. However, I indicated that the Kshs3.2 billion that has been allocated to the Ministry of Gender, Sports, Culture and Social Services is really not sufficient because of the many issues that are supposed to be catered for in the administration of sports. An amount of Kshs3.2 ... view
