• 7 Mar 2023 in Senate: I do not know why the Clerk is quickly reading the Orders. I had risen to raise an issue under Standing Order No.1 and No. 231 on Petitions. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on 15th February, 2023, about 20 days ago, a Petition was brought on the situation of students that are in Finland from Kenya. Over the weekend, there was a report in the media that a number of them are supposed to be deported over payment of school fees. Nandi County is also doing the same. I did not have peace over the weekend. I had a number of parents ... view

• 7 Mar 2023 in Senate: tabled a report and given their findings on what should happen. The National Assembly are also handling a similar Petition. So, it is important that you guide the House. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC) have been sleeping on their jobs because we are talking about an allegation of Kshs684 million that has been signed on that process, but no one has been held accountable for that. I request that you guide us on the Petition so that we can proceed. I thank you. view
• 7 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to give Notice of the following Motion- THAT, AWARE THAT in 2018 Kenya was placed under Category A by the World Anti-Doping Agency and since then 40 Kenyan athletes have been banned by either the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) or the Anti- Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK) and has led to a situation whereby the Kenyan athletes have to undergo intense testing before participating in major events and has immensely affected the reputation of the Kenyan athletes and the standing of Kenya in the international Sports arena where it currently ranks at number ... view
• 7 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I congratulate Sen. Crystal Asige for this timely Statement. I also note that KRA has ongoing reforms. As you are aware, the Constitution is very clear. I agree with her on one thing, tax relief should and must be provided for the vulnerable, that is, the PwDs, marginalized and minorities as per the law. This issue of tax reliefs and exemptions was being misused and abused. As you are aware in the last financial year, there were allegations that Kshs370 billion of tax exemptions were issued by KRA and around Kshs67 billion could not be ... view

• 7 Mar 2023 in Senate: This is a very serious issue that goes beyond this Statement. Some individuals within KRA must face the full force of the law. This is because this issue of tax relief was a noble idea, but it was misused along the way. Therefore, looking at our budget, you have seen the Budget Policy Statement (PBS). The Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget in the National Assembly has also indicated that we might end up borrowing Kshs860 billion to finance our budget deficit. This is because tax reliefs, exemptions and evasions are being misused and abused by individuals who ... view
• 7 Mar 2023 in Senate: On a point of information, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 7 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. (Dr) Khalwale is a man of wisdom. When we were growing up, he used to inspire some of us by the fiery and vibrant debates on the Floor of the House view
• 7 Mar 2023 in Senate: No. Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am now more fired. Not even inspired but fired. Maybe to inform him because I have heard him indicate that it is about minerals. However, Clause three says: “This Act shall apply to the following natural resources— (a) sunlight; (b) water resources; (c) forests, biodiversity and genetic resources;” He should inform us more about this because he is a doctor, “ (d) wildlife resources; (e) industrial fishing; and (f) wind.” That is what the Bill, if passed into an Act of law, will apply to. However, there is already a Mining Act in place. That ... view
