• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Under Part II, Clause 6, we have had problems with the Government in giving information. The other day we were here and one Member of Parliament raised a point of order that a journalist of the Daily Nation Newspaper had been arrested out there just because he had disclosed some information. As if that was not enough, the journalist was taken to the police station, because this law has not been passed. That means there are some information that we do not even get access to and one of the Cabinet Secretary (CS) was forced to swallow the bitter pill ... view
• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: However, with the passage of this Bill, we should get information we are supposed to get. The other thing I want to mention which is very important--- view
• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: That is what I can say. I wanted to advance information, but I do not want to be selfish. I want others to take part. Therefore, I thank the Mover and let us fast-track this Bill so that it can become effective. I support the Bill. Thank you. view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to thank you for this opportunity. My father passed on and left us a very big piece of land – almost eight acres. The only thing he did was to educate us. Our grandchildren and his grandchildren can only rely on education, and not land. Land was relied on in the past, but not now. It is good that this Bill is here. During the Third Reading, we will introduce amendments. I would like to talk about some of the issues that we need to address in this Bill. I would like to ... view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: teachers. Some teachers are employed by parents. The boards should employ qualified teachers to raise the standards of education in this country. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we should encourage children to go to school. In my sub-county, we have large farms. Because of the poverty index, most pupils would prefer going to work on the farms instead of going to school. I do not agree with the Member who said that we should provide food to students. The boards should remove barriers to quality education. Hon. (Dr.) Pukose will agree with me that we have a problem in our county ... view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, several schools that have been sponsored by the Catholic Church and African Inland Church have done very well. Maseno School, Alliance High School, Yala School and Kibati School, where I attended as well as Kamusinga, St. Monica and St. Josephs in my county are sponsored by churches. We cannot remove the churches from the management of education in our sub-counties. We should give room to churches in the management of education in our sub-counties. That aspect should come out strongly during the Third Reading of this Bill. view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the amendment Bill. view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I am one of the taxpayers. I pay a lot of money. I want to remind Kenyans that taxes must be friendly. You must pay your taxes in a friendly way. You should not be coerced or forced. Therefore, the procedure must be simple and friendly. It should also give people incentives to pay. Many Kenyans find paying taxes a problem. If you make paying taxes as friendly as it should be, and give people incentives, they will come forward to pay. I want to remind Kenyans that under the Kibaki's ... view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, can we be protected from the loud consultations going on across the corridors? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, taxes collected at the county level cannot assist us get enough revenue. When we were devolving functions, we expected the counties to collect enough taxes. The counties do not even have a formula for collecting taxes. Counties rely on the national Government to send them money. That money goes into Recurrent Expenditure. They do not have a formula for collecting taxes. Of the 47 counties, 50 per cent have not collected a cent. Even where they collect tax, they collect a small figure compared to the actual amount that should be collected. I visited places where ... view
