• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I also want to support this amendment. The Committee has, indeed, agreed with many of us who are supporting Wanjiku. We do not need to tax basic items like bread, maize and wheat flour. I also want to commend the Committee for also considering the sugar industry, tax on transportation of sugarcane from the farms to the milling factory. That is commendable. Hon. (Ms.) Gladys Wanga, thank you for your good leadership of that Committee. view

That is why the statement is directed to the same Committee. view

• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: First of all, there is the issue of pending bills. Even in the Budget which we were discussing, it is a problem even to the national Government. I want to support the proposal by the Budget and Appropriations Committee that we need to have a fund domiciled at the national Treasury to manage this challenge of pending bills. They have proposed we have a long-term bond that will be used to manage the problem of pending bills. I think the same should be done to various county governments because we understand there are various reasons why counties have pending bills. ... view
• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: we are not careful, some of those counties may have challenges in future. That is why some of us were supporting BBI because it was going to increase the allocation from 15 per cent to 35 per cent and some of these counties which have financial challenges would be able to survive. However, now without it, we are going to have problems. For those of us who support BBI, we mean well for devolution in this country.
