• 25 May 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the Committee‘s position. If we approve the 50 per cent tax, these people will be forced to go underground and the country will lose money. With all due respect, the right institutions to regulate this sector are the Betting Control and Licensing Board and the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government and not the Ministry of Finance. There is no other country that charges 50 per cent tax in the world. I agree with the Chairman of the Finance Committee that we have to be realistic. These are people who pay taxes. ... view

• 16 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I think your ruling on this matter is very correct. Since Hon. Keynan is not in the House, we will meet, make a decision and communicate. We will give him a chance. view
• 23 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute to the Report by His Excellency the President on the state of national security. Security is a very broad issue. As a country, we have taken some measures and as we can now see, the President has outlined three things that he has done. On this, there is national security. Today, as I contribute to this very important statement, we have a very divided nation. Most of the divisions have been caused by politicians who make statements that polarise this country and promote tribalism. The two main parties in ... view

• 23 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, in the same vein, there is the issue of human dignity. view
• 23 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: I am sorry, I meant Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I did not see the transformation and transition. I apologise. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you very much for accepting my apology. I am reminded by my friends on the Jubilee side that I should accept that there is Madam Speaker, who is now on the Chair. I have accepted and agreed. The President talks about social justice. We must seek to deepen social justice through welfare programmes that target the marginalised and those who come from arid and semi-arid (ASAL) areas. They suffer a lot. It is like some regions ... view
• 23 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I believe these things are happening not only because of poverty, but also because of relying on cattle keeping as the only way of life. Also, that part of the country has been neglected for a long time. The people living there have no other means of survival other than relying on cattle. Now that there has been drought, there will be need for restocking. I request the Members of this House to sit together and come up with a blueprint to sort out this problem once and for all. The conflict in the Rift Valley ... view
• 23 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Inequality in Kenya also fuels insecurity. Kenya has very few very rich people and very many people who cannot put food on the table. We may set up very good policies, employ very many policemen and do everything we can, but unless we create employment for the youth in those marginalised areas, we may not realise peace in those areas. We need to allocate more money for education and develop infrastructure in those areas. I have read in newspapers about activities by some leaders which have not borne a lot of results. view
• 23 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: National security touches on so many things. We have to encourage our law enforcement officers like policemen and the army that we send to restore peace and stability in those regions. We need to implement police reforms, so that police can have good houses and good pay to motivate them to curb insecurity. view
