• 25 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Bill and I am going to be very brief. Revenue projection is normally given by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). In the last financial year, the projection was Kshs1.6 trillion, but the actual one was Kshs1.4 trillion. So, in terms of the actual percentage, it came to 90 per cent. view
• 25 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: So, common sense dictates that normally we achieve 90 per cent.

• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to second the Motion by Hon. Waluke on the measures the Government should put in place to bridge the trade deficit. First and foremost, I want to thank Hon. Waluke for coming up with such a wonderful Motion. This country, as he clearly put it, is having a big problem in terms of trade balance.

• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Kshs500 billion. So, the trade deficit in value terms is about Kshs1.1 trillion. This is very dangerous to the country.

We must put structures in place that can help the business community in this country to export for purposes of foreign exchange earnings. We have a parastatal called the Export Promotion Council (EPC) and one of its core businesses is to help the local community, the small and medium enterprises ... view
