• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: Finally, there is a clause in this Bill that says that the Cabinet Minister for the National Treasury can stop money from going to the counties. If that is made into law, you must show us why it is in the Bill. Parliament has that responsibility. No one should take it away from this august House. I am a bit antsy on this particular issue. view

• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was worried that I was not going to speak. I want to join my colleagues in thanking you. On that Friday, I was driving to Marsabit listening to the President’s Speech. When I arrived in Marsabit, my constituents were asking me: “When are you going back and how will Parliament discharge its functions?” Like many of us have said before, there is Solomonic wisdom that this Government have in you that will help this country in many ways. This is one of the ways. You have caused this debate this afternoon so that by the ... view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The issue of tax is very important. It is not something to take lightly as representatives of the people in this House. If a particular form of tax collection is adopted, it must apply across the board. Why do we have that infrastructure across this country? The idea of having a regulation is for the purpose of uniformity so that Kenyans know these are the regulations along which a particular tax system applies. What we must not lose sight of is the idea of saying if it can apply in Nairobi, Mombasa, ... view
• 23 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I thank the Chairman for asking for more time. This is about the law of this country into the future. It is not just about the BBI. So, we must look at time and for posterity. Hon. Speaker, for the first time, we are casting aspersions on this Committee.

• 23 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: agreed with them only for us to turn around at this time, just because of the BBI, and say that it is not good and it should be disbanded? Hon. Speaker this House is the one that makes the law of the land. It is not just a gallery or a gathering. If anything will not be approved by the House, I do not know how it is going to be implemented out there on the streets. For that reason, Hon.

• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. The die is cast and we as Members of this House our position is very clear. We are not prepared to pass the Appropriation Bill, if there is no NG-CDF. There is no ambiguity and your Solomonic advice to the House is good for the time being. But as Members what we wanted to hear from both the Chair of the NG- CDF and Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee is when this money will arrive in our accounts. Some of us have served a second term and others longer. The problem in ... view
• 9 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to comment on what I consider to be one of the most important agreements that Kenya is likely to sign in very many years. I thank the Committee for moving this Report.
