• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. From what the Leader of the Majority Party is saying, he is proposing an amendment to a Bill, and not an Act that has just gone through the Second Reading.

• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I just want to take this opportunity, in supporting this allocation, to make a simple statement.

You ask KRA how much revenue it has collected and whether it has reached the Exchequer Account. You confirm at the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) and the KRA and then table to the National Assembly the audited revenues for the last quarter of the year. If we can be current by December, we shall have done nine months. By June next year, we would have done a full three quarters of the year.
