• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would also wish to support this Bill because without paying taxes, we cannot function as a country. I am happy that everyone in Kenya is being taxed. Kenya is one of the highest taxed countries in the world. As MPs, we are taxed. Therefore, this is a timely Bill. We want our taxes to be used prudently. I also want to point out that there is something called illicit financial flows which include tax evasions by multinationals and big commercial entrepreneurs.

We had this in the previous regimes of KANU under the Moi leadership and Kenyans voted for a new Constitution. One of the elements of the new Constitution is that we must have independent institutions. The National Police Service Commission (NPSC) must be independent, including the appointment of the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) and the Deputy Inspector-Generals.
