• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: One of the things we have been grappling with, as the National Assembly, is the growing public wage bill. The members of the Board will be drawing allowances whenever they sit. If we should have representation of people with disabilities and persons from the education sector, they should be considered within the five positions that are already there. view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to oppose. view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to oppose this amendment. I empathise with Hon. Mwaura for bringing this amendment. I believe that where we come from, persons with disabilities are part of our society. They go to common schools and enjoy common facilities. Also, within the CDF Committee, we normally have one person representing persons with disabilities. So, the interests of this part of our community are taken care of. Putting aside money to do nothing should not be part of this Bill. Thank you. view

• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I wish to support this Bill. In the interest of time, and I also wish many of my colleagues to contribute, I want to agree with my colleagues that information is power. Currently, Kenyans are getting information through the social media on WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter et cetera . It appears to be the domain. Everybody logs into the social media to get information. In the process, what we have been treated to is propaganda, incitement, perception and falsehoods. If Kenyans will be able to access information at every level ... view
• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: With regard to disclosure of information and the number of days within which an individual will seek information and receive it, we will need to work with a fine tooth comb, during the Third Reading, to ensure that the Bill meets the ambit of this legislation. With those remarks, I beg to support. view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I want to join my colleagues in supporting this Bill. When we talk about taxes in any country, it is about monies individuals will surrender to the government for public use – something which people may not do willingly. For that reason, individuals who pay that money will always ask for value for money. If we want to build Kenya, we must pay taxes. Such money must be prudently appropriated. This Bill shows the progress that we are making as a country in constitution-making and crafting of ... view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The other important area is tax returns. The laws in this country are clear that all individuals with an annual net income must file The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: tax returns. In the recent past, filing of tax returns has been left to a few people or only those the taxman can reach. My colleagues who have spoken have talked about corruption. It is one of the major reasons that create dies-incentive to people paying taxes. The more the people see the Government is lenient on corrupt practices, we must be prepared that Kenyans will not throw away their money. For Kenyans to understand the rules and procedures of filing tax returns there must be education. One of the civil liberties in America is paying tax. We may not ... view
• 17 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support that amendment. Like Hon. Muluvi has said, some parts of this country continue to be marginalised to the extent that even today when we have devolution, many of us still feel strongly that we are marginalised. For that reason, the courts can do that selectively in expansive areas, particularly in northern Kenya. In the areas where people feel comfortable, the courts can be put at the sub-county level. We cannot put everything in the same level because of fear that it is going to be expensive. If we ... view
