These people were earning very low salaries and they did not have any investment. So, something needs to be ... view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is a shame that when you meet a Government official outside this country, he behaves as if he is a multi-millionaire in Kenya yet patients sleep on the floor in our hospitals.

• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: taxes form a major part of our fiscal measures and the Bill endeavours to improve the fiscal system in tax collection. Hon. Speaker, my other observation in this particular regard is that, sound fiscal measures are major integral ways of developing an economy. Any country must actually base their long term fiscal measures and tax collection in their development aspirations. Finally, the Bills intends to bring integrity because what happens is that many people fear paying taxes because it takes a longer time to get a refund or to be listened to. Therefore, there is rampant tax evasion. But with ... view
