• 19 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. This is an important amendment. I support it. The Attorney-General seconding a nominee to the selection panel was like the Government of the day seconding a nominee. Removing that one and putting it to the interreligious council makes sense, only that all the institutions that have been given responsibility to nominate people to this very important Commission should bring in people of integrity, people who are decisive and people who can take this country forward. This is the single most important Commission as far as the future of this country is concerned. In fact, ... view
• 19 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Chebukati and his team must now go home. We must now bring a new lot of commissioners who have integrity and can move this country forward. view
• 19 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I take great exception when Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah says that for other reasons, I will say something when he speaks about the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government. I find that deriding. It was meant to intimidate me, but I cannot be intimidated. My point of order is: Are newspaper reports eligible for debate on the Floor of the House? The last time I read my Standing Orders, they were not. view
• 19 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order! view
• 19 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Hon. Ichung’wah is jumping from the frying pan into the fire. What he said earlier is even better. He should not talk about body sizes of women, especially in the manner in which he did. I expect an apology. view
• 19 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this year’s Finance Bill. From the outset, I support it. I have gone through the Report by the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. I thank them for doing a thorough job. Since the Chair has come back, the only recommendation I would like to make is that since Members of this House make an entry from different directions, for ease of reading, for non-finance and accounting people like ourselves, please, let them have a key for the abbreviations. When we read this Report as ... view
• 19 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: I am happy that we are passing the Finance Bill without too much ado because of the public participation that has been adequately done. There are areas we do not necessarily agree with, but you remember last year when we were passing the taxes on fuel, it was a very big war. We were at cross-purposes with our constituents. It is very useful to just sit in the House and listen to very experienced voices on this matter of revenue-raising measures that we have. I support. view
• 19 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: That is also part of good exercise for the Member. I would like to support the exemption of tax on the Ajira Digital Programme. For a The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 19 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: long time, even when we were in university, many people spent a lot of time doing digital work. You would take term papers for students in America, write them and they would pay you on your PayPal account. I am very happy. For a long time, the Government did not recognise that this is an area through which we can engage our young people. The Government recognising the Ajira Digital Programme, that online space is a space that young people can work and earn money without having to come out here, set up offices or tarmac for years after graduating ... view
• 19 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: I know there was a proposal in the Finance Bill to exempt agricultural pest control products from tax. I saw that the Committee agreed with the stakeholders who said that instead of exempting, it should be zero-rated. If you are going to achieve food security, then it would be very important that farm inputs are zero-rated. At the same time, the quality of the products, especially the agricultural pest control products; should be given first priority. On one hand, we can be dealing with zero-rating agricultural pest control products so that we have our agriculture developing. We also have health ... view
