• 20 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Most of our tea is exported to Egypt, Pakistan, Afghanistan, among other middle-eastern countries. Whenever there are conflicts in this region, as we all know there are a lot of conflicts which are going on in those particular regions, it affects the pricing and purchasing of our tea, which causes the bonuses to drop. view
• 20 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, in recent years, we re-organised the management of tea in this country. We vested AFA with the responsibility to manage crops like tea. We did away with the Tea Board of Kenya (TBK), which used to manage this industry. We have major players in the industry such as private farmers and companies as well as public farmers coordinated through KTDA. In recent years, the management of KTDA has been having serious issues. They overcharge the farmers through management and consultancy fees. The fees have reduced the livelihood of the farmers by way of receiving less for tea ... view
• 10 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On my behalf, family and the people of Mogotio, I would like to send my condolences to the family of President Moi and Kenyans at large. I remember the President for many things, especially education and political stability. He had a philosophy of peace, love and unity. He also talked a lot about Siasambaya maisha mbaya and many things about songs. I worked with him closely to establish Kabarak University. I would like to thank him for the full support. view

• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I also rise to support this amendment. We have had a problem with the Finance Bill coming later before we know the taxation and revenue-raising mechanisms of the Government. In this case, I really support the amendment. view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I rise to support the Leader of the Majority Party’s amendment. The only thing is that you cannot go for six months. What we should actually say is that there should be no initiation of procurement in a period of three months to elections, but payments or continuation of projects can go on. Thank you. view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to contribute to the Competition (Amendment) Bill. The ground of the business environment right now in Kenya is not even. I will give an example of contracts which are given to the youth and women in the construction industry. The law says that we should set aside 30 per cent of the jobs for the youth, women and people living with disability. People circumvent that particular rule by creating companies whose parent companies are big companies. However, they put the directors of the companies as youths, their children, wives or girlfriends. When ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: People circumvent the rules by creating strong companies which push others out of the market. Therefore, buyer power needs to be looked into very carefully. I know that we do not want to suppress the free market economy or free exchange and buying of goods. However, we do not want unfair practices where others use the powers they have to remove others. I know we are crying a lot about companies which are from outside Kenya. Many of us have said that many of our local companies do not get jobs to construct major roads or projects. Companies from outside ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: businesspeople, the young entrepreneurs who are entering the market so that they are not pushed out by the bigger companies which are well established. We should also allow small companies to grow. The upcoming SMEs are the cornerstone of the economy of this country. We need to enable them to participate in the market. With that, I beg to support. Thank you. view
