• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: I respect him as a senior counsel. I withdraw and apologise to him because he is a senior counsel and a respected Member of this House, but we know there is a chain all the way from the Judiciary to private children’s homes which are selling our children. view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have so much respect for my colleague here. He is a very intelligent Member of Parliament. However, he is out of order because he is saying that we should allow children to choose which country they should be adopted to. Imagine a one-year-old child who is stolen from Pumwani Hospital, placed in a children’s home and taken to court for legal adoption to be sold abroad. That is out of order. Our children cannot decide. view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the Bill. view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: From the layman’s perspective, it is a Bill that will ease licensing and doing business in this country just the way we have the Huduma Namba. We brought all the documents that we carry in our wallets like driving licence and identification card into one particular document to make it easy to transact business. You do not have to go from one Government office to another one seeking services. Huduma Centres also solve some of these issues. You can apply for a certificate of good conduct, identification card and all manner of documents in a one-stop shop. When it comes ... view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: We will bring amendments in the Committee of whole House to make sure that the National Electronic Single Window System will be used for international businesses, as well as local ones. We must make it easy for all of us to do business. The Committee did a good job. However, they viewed the Bill through the lens of the very rich in our society. They forgot that the hustlers contribute a huge chunk of the wheels that drive our economy, even though they run local Small The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified ... view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs). That is why it is focused so much on international business. We will bring amendments to make sure that even those who do business locally are catered for. The world has moved to digital way of doing business. We, as a country, cannot be left behind. Currently, you can order for any commodity that you want anywhere in the world, and you receive it at your doorstep without even knowing the seller, how it arrived and whether it was view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: the sea, air or road. We should move with that speed. view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: This Bill has advantages. It will reduce the number of processes, when you are doing business. These processes scare away potential investors in this country, who can bring massive businesses that can employ our youth, as well as pay taxes that will enable us pay loans. They are tiring. When you have money, you have a choice to invest either in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania or any other country in the world. When we make these processes easier, then we will attract those very big investors who will do business in this country. view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: FedEx Corporation is a very big company that does business digitally. How can we attract it when we have a red tape and bottlenecks in registration and doing business? We do not have regulations to safeguard their interest. As I said before, those big companies and very rich individuals have choices. We do not have a choice in Kenya. We only have to attract those businesses, businesspeople and investors for us to clear our loans. Our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is Kshs9 trillion. The loans that we owe other countries and financial institutions amount to Kshs12 trillion. We are already ... view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the National Electronic Single Window System will also reduce the number of documents which are required. The businesspeople have a lot of documents like the business permits. Sometimes, you require a big safe to put them. There are those who come to check those businesses like the National Construction Authority (NCA) and the county governments’ staff who check business permits. The system will reduce the number of documents that you need to operate a business. view
