• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I thank God for the opportunity which He gave me to serve the people of Kitui West. I also thank the people of Kitui West for giving me the opportunity to serve them. I have served for four years because I came in through a by-election after the passing on of my husband, Francis Nyenze. I am grateful that I was able to fit in his shoes. The people of Kitui West tell me that I have been able to fit in his big shoes. He was a Leader of the ... view
• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. At the outset, I support the amendment to the KRA Act of changing its name from, “Authority” to “Services”: Kenya Revenue Authority to Kenya Revenue Services. The KRA is an agency that is tasked with collection of revenue for the Government. It is also responsible for the assessment, collection and accounting for all the revenue they collect for the Government. They want to be friendly to the taxpayer by changing their name. I congratulate them because over the years they have increased revenue collection. This is very important because ... view
• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: I support the amendment but note that they can broaden the tax bracket by being friendly especially by educating the tax payers and also ensuring that they help in improvement of businesses. As KRA collects revenue, of late, I have noticed some of the small businesses have closed. That means that revenue reduces as the businesses close. As I support the change of name to be more friendly, they should educate taxpayers, especially the small businesses, on how to improve their businesses so that as they go to collect revenue from them, the business would be strong enough and grow ... view
• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: They should also embrace IT systems in their operations especially in collection of revenue. We know that especially in county governments, revenue is collected manually. If KRA can be involved in collection of county governments’ revenue, which they would do so electronically, I am sure that county governments would benefit a lot from their own revenue. This would also ensure that instead of the national Government giving county governments so much money, they could also benefit from their own revenue. view
• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: As my colleague said, they should motivate their staff. KRA employs so many people but many of them are on contract. Such staff serve on contract for a very long time. They are involved in collection of a lot of money but they get very little pay, which can tempt them to become corrupt because they are not well motivated. The KRA should motivate their staff and not keep them under contract for a very long time. Let them employ them and remunerate them in the right way. view

• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: after discussing with the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, I am stepping all of them down. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 19 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new sub clause immediately after sub-clause (2)— (3) A child with severe disability shall have the right to receive social assistance and to be accorded specialized medical treatment, special care, special education and training free of charge by the State where possible or at a reduced cost.
