For the various county governments to keep to the standard that we expect, the conditional grant of Kshs4.3 billion is well timed and it will come in handy to help the various county governments. Out of past experiences, most of our governors are diverting most of these funds going to various counties into their personal monies. This has been seen in various counties. It is time we pushed the Senate to take their rightful position because it has been given the responsibility to oversee various county governments ... view

• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. First and foremost, the payment of taxes is paramount to the survival of any Government worldwide. The revenue that is collected is used to steer various development projects. However, it is very important to streamline the structures and systems in this sector, so that the issues that are implemented are applied in a fair way, but not just arbitrary. Why do I say that? As far as the Income Tax is concerned, I have one concern which I would like to share. In the Income Tax, we ... view

• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to commend the Committee for the good work it has undertaken, especially on the single recommendation that there should be extensive and detailed forensic audit on this issue. We have been given the history of this land all the way from 1926 to about 2014. However, there are some issues which I find very interesting. This is because as some of the members of the Committee have actually confirmed, they could not come up with a proper and concrete conclusion on the way forward, or where this issue stands. First and foremost, ... view

We cannot come up with such a conclusion simply because even the Committees I serve summon some of these people and in most cases they feel very intimidated, which is okay and in order. However, what the Vice-Chair did was wrong. I am sorry to say that. He stood here and implied that the CS could have been guilty of such an offence. That was wrong and ... view

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I would like to thank the Chief Whip for donating those two minutes. I would like to commend His Excellency the President for a well-balanced Speech which articulated the very key issues the Jubilee Government has undertaken to date and it can stand by them. There is the issue of the economy, the energy sector, the infrastructure, Government services, the health sector, the land reforms, security and bilateral level engagements. We know what is happening and more important is unity through the conciliatory tone by the President. We also have the issue of corruption which I ... view
