• 21 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to support the Procedural Motion. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to thank the Chairperson for the response, but I think it is inadequate. The purpose of the Provincial Administration is to give citizens access to services. Given that the district has been in existence for the last 10 years, it irrelevant for them to be told that they have not been gazetted and, therefore, they cannot have a police station, a DC and District Officers (DOs) posted there. This is part of marginalisation, and it is why we are having lots of security problems in this country. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, my clarification to the Chairperson is whether that district should revert to the current governance system under devolution and actually ask for services and support from the governor or they still have to resort to asking for administrative services from the national Government. view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also wish to seek a clarification from the Chair. What is happening is that we are cannibalising the old district hospitals, which are supposed to be level four hospitals. The question which has been asked by hon. Murugi is: How do you cannibalise an existing hospital that should actually serve as a referral hospital in a county for its equipment to be moved to a mission hospital? What effort is the Government making to ensure that actually that hospital is manned, and its equipment is retained as opposed to cannibalising the ... view

• 7 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank the Finance Committee for bringing this Bill. I think this Bill is really very important and it rests at the core of what Kenya should be. Taxation is the means by which to grow the economy. There is a famous saying by the Kenya Revenue Authority - view
• 7 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: . I think that is really important. Kenyans are the highest taxed citizens. Basically, our tax regime is “kind of” so inflated that on most of the goods that are either produced here or imported, the inflation rate is very high. Sometimes, it makes doing business in Kenya very unattractive for many. Through this Bill, Kenya should attract investors. But there are many things that must be done for us to address the tax regime, so that it is favorable. That way, investors will come and invest in this country. At the same time, we must guard against tax evasion ... view
• 7 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: pays his taxes. This Bill also addresses the taxation of extractive industries, especially petroleum. I think on this, we have to be really careful because the petroleum industry has been the driver for both inflation and commodity prices. In the world market, when the petroleum prices go down, there is no commensurate reduction at the pump price. That is what we have seen over the years. That is the case and yet, the companies that have been doing exploration and others which have been supplying petroleum products have gained so much from this country while doing their businesses. There are ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker. I think under Article 95, one of the roles of the Members of the National Assembly is representation. If the issues are going wrong at the grassroots, when the people we represent are affected and nobody is raising concern, I think the honours is on this House, is for us to raise our voices that the proper arm of Government must take the necessary action. In this particular case, I think hon. Member has approached this House that devolution, Transitional Authority are not taking the necessary action for service delivery to the people of Isiolo. For ... view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Deputy Speaker. I wanted to say “put the Question” but I want to make my contribution. view
