• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am a bit lost. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: I plead with the Chair while moving his amendment to explain a bit. As I read the amendment, it states he is deleting the word “two” and substituting with the words “three point five” which means he is increasing according to the Order Paper. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: They should be decreasing so as to help the Big Four Agenda of housing. If we increase taxes, it means the houses will be expensive. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I agree with the Chair and thank Hon. Jude Njomo for being very loyal to his mission. It is true. The banking industry has always misinformed us, particularly on matters of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). They claim not to lend to SMEs because they are high risk. They continue making those super abnormal profits. I totally agree with the Committee that we should continue trying to improve for those SMEs to continue borrowing at that low rate.

• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, it surprises me. My very able Leader of the Majority Party, Jubilee, is referring to other teams as t angatanga and yet he is our leader. He should tell us who the Members of the t angatanga team are. We are strong believers of Jubilee under his leadership. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. First, you have made it very clear that it is unconstitutional for someone to force anyone to join any association. Second is what you said on the matter of telling employers not to employ accountants unless they are registered with a professional body. How many accountants do we have now who are not registered? We will make them to be sacked. We are going to put this country into a very difficult situation if we pass this proposal. I oppose the amendment. view
• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Just to remind my brother, Hon. Barasa, I am a Catholic and our God is a just God. If you make a mistake and repent, you will be forgiven. Even if you are a bishop, if you sin once, you can still seek for His forgiveness. I support this Bill but one of the issues that I really want to start with is about taxation. We need to ask ourselves why we must tax. As Hon. Makali Mulu indicated, we had done away with the expenditure. Now we have to look for ways to ... view
• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Liaison Committee. When we were there, we talked to some people. In Australia, if you have a vehicle, you pay for the number plate of that vehicle on a quarterly basis. That is a type of tax that the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning needs to start thinking about. Anybody who owns a vehicle just pays for the number plate once upon registration. After that, you will never pay for it again. First, it will help this country to grow. Make it an annual payment, for example. Instead of it being a quarterly payment, make it an annual ... view
• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: financial year, every bank pronounces an increment in profits and yet the SMEs are still not being given money. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I know you are a lawyer. It is not fair for you to represent me and then you report me and become a witness for the prosecution. We will be losing out on this. It is important for us. We should stop being cheated by the Americans. For example, they are not even signatories to the Rome Statute. There is a law in America that stops any American from ever being charged in the International Criminal Court ... view
