• 20 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you so much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this very important Motion because countries do not do trade. It is the citizens and companies that are in countries that do trade. The role of the Government is to facilitate by making sure that the environment that exists in the country enables traders to do business without any hindrances. Where cross- border trade is concerned, the role of the Government is to ensure that we enter into agreements that are beneficial to the citizens, companies and manufacturers. Therefore, apart from meeting a very important legal obligation, the Motion before ... view
• 20 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Over and above the issues of procedure involving ratification and the EAC, the most important thing is whether as a country, we are prepared to take advantage of the economic and business opportunities that are being created in the EU. In the last three years we have been in this Parliament, we have voted so much money to the Ministry of Industrialisation, Trade and Cooperatives to ensure that we develop the capacity of our businesses to produce for the external markets. We have given money to the Ministry to increase production in the leather industry. We are trying to do ... view
• 20 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: items like tiles, cement and iron sheets. We are basically exporting jobs that we badly need at home. What we must do as a country within the framework of EPA is to invest in producing at home. It is a no brainer. China is building a railway line in Kenya today and it is importing everything they are using, from the nuts and bolts to cement. They are exporting jobs that we needed at home like yesterday. How do we call ourselves a country if we are going to allow people to support their home industries by bringing their products ... view

• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you so much, Hon. Speaker. I hope that ruling does not apply to me because it was made after I rose on my feet. I want to support the Bill. Before I support this Bill, I would like to say that whenever you see the leaders of political parties in this country agreeing, the country is in problems, especially on political matters like this one. Whenever you see everyone saying we should not allow this to happen, there is a conspiracy. There is a conspiracy to block Kenyans from enjoying their political rights. This House must be allowed to ... view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you so much, Hon. Speaker. What has been harped by the Leader of the Majority Party this afternoon is that this is a negotiated Bill and some things cannot be The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: done. Thank you so much for that ruling. The offences in this Act, like Hon. Jakoyo has said, are not new. I wish the Committee which we tasked this job considered the problem. The problem is not the offences, but the capacity of the bodies concerned to enforce the law. I wish they had proposed to appropriate some money to enable Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to employ more staff to enforce the law. Party hopping is in the law, and it is not allowed 45 days to elections. In the last elections, we saw Jubilee and the Orange ... view
