• 23 Feb 2021 in Senate: in this House on issues of stalled projects. As I speak, stalled projects through the audit report still stand in excess of Kshs366 billion. We are losing value for money. The time value of our shilling is not being exploited; we are not using our shilling to add value in giving services to our people. I ask the organizations in charge, especially the National Treasury, to ensure the first charge in the budget is to complete stalled projects as was passed by this House. We need to resolve that no more projects should be started in counties that do not ... view
• 23 Feb 2021 in Senate: As I conclude, the issue of the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS), in terms of looking at how the counties collect their finance, is something that is not getting headway. The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has been trying to get into counties and helping them in collecting revenue. As it maybe, they continue collecting revenue because they have the systems.

• 21 Dec 2020 in Senate: At one point in time in this House and some of the forums that we have attended, it is said that from the buying centre all the way to the auction, there are about almost 40 taxes levied on tea. As we move on and as l beseech my colleagues to come up and support this Bill as amended by the National Assembly, we need to look at - like what Sen. Wambua has said - how we go back to our areas of specialization. We need the Tea Research Center. We need the Tea Board to do its work ... view
