• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. At the outset, I support the Excise Duty Bill 2015. It is a good Bill. As a country, we must fund our budget. This is one strategy of raising revenue to develop this nation. The Bill simplifies administration of taxation in the country and this will enhance compliance with taxation. The Bill also optimises the revenue collection from the Excise Duty itself. It further aims at harmonising various tax laws in the country as well as in the region, Kenya being a member of the East African Community (EAC). ... view
• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: As we move on, in future, other materials or goods in our country which are not environmentally friendly should, in the spirit of this Bill, also be taxed heavily or punitively so that we can conserve mother earth and ensure that we live in a very clean environment. With those few remarks, I support the Bill. view

• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to join my colleagues in commending the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs under the able leadership of Hon. Chepkong’a. These two Bills for sure were very lengthy but we managed to complete them. They will ensure that the business community will now be well regulated, especially under the Companies Bill. It will also boost the confidence of investors in our country. This is what we need for our economy to grow. I commend the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. Thank you. view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Bill: Business Registration Service Bill of 2015. I support this Bill because it is a good Bill that will spur economic growth in our nation. It delinks the Department of Auditor-General in the State Law Office and in effect, it will establish a State Corporation, a SAGA that will undertake that responsibility. This Bill will bring efficiency in how we register companies and businesses in Kenya. This efficiency will save investors both time and cost. Many Kenyans who have tried to register businesses here in Kenya or even investors ... view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Government. Because of this, it is a good concept and it is a good Bill that we should support as Kenyans. In a nutshell, it will promote ease of doing business in Kenya and make us competitive when we compare ourselves with other countries. If we want to grow our economy by double digits as we desire, then these enabling laws must be in place for us to spur our economic growth. It also promotes private sector development in our nation. This will also result in socio- economic development in the entire country. It will achieve this by having this ... view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: This Bill will make us competitive in the region. It is a good Bill. I hope that we benchmarked with some of the best practices in the world, for example in the United States of America (USA), Japan and other countries so that we are able to achieve our objectives. Generally, the Members of this House have problems when we set up new State corporations which are SAGAS. There is nothing wrong with setting up new ones if we need to have those corporations to realize our development objectives as a nation. Some may not be relevant at this time ... view

• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is my brother, the Hon. Member, in order to mislead the House by stating that it is only in the USA or other modern democracies that we have strong political parties? In Tanzania, Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) is a strong viable political party and yet we gained Independence during the same period with them. Is he in order to mislead the House that this only happens in the USA and other democracies when it is happening here in Tanzania? view
