• 17 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: We have been able to look at all the recommendations and I am happy to announce that most of the recommendations have already been implemented. With those few remarks, I beg to second. view
• 17 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have listened to the Leader of the Majority Party and I have also read the Bill. I concur that there is justification for repealing the Asian Widows and Orphans Pension Act which is one of the very old pieces of legislation, as has been pointed out by the Leader of the Majority Party. The main reason for this is because in that piece of legislation there is the fund called the Asian Widows and Orphans Pension Fund which is being aligned to the Public Finance Management Act, 2012. As we are aware, there ... view

• 11 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: the matter before them. It is a good thing that the CS for Sports, Hon. Amina Mohamed, has instituted an audit into the financial status of FKF. I think that is a good thing because that federation is rotten and it is a surprise that the Senate is trying to sanitise corruption in FKF. I think the Departmental Committee on Sports, Culture and Tourism of the National Assembly should take up this matter. Again, we have in the past advised the Cabinet Secretaries not to honour summons by the Senate but I do not know why they continue honouring those ... view

• 11 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: I led a team of Members of a sub-committee appointed by the Committee on Friday, 9th July 2021, to conduct an inspection visit to the London Distillers Kenya (LDK) plant. During the visit, we met the management of the LDK, representatives of NEMA, Edermann Properties and the representative of the Member of Parliament of the area.

We also had a number of meetings and we wrote a sub-committee report which was adopted by ... view
• 11 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: We looked at the issue of ambience in air quality assessment, affluent discharge analysis and we noticed that London Distillers had done some remarkable progress in terms of addressing the recommendations of the Committee. But there is still a big room for improvement. As the Chair has said, we also noticed that the Report that was given to us on the financial investment had some discrepancies between the Report given by NEMA and the Report given by London Distillers. NEMA gave us a figure of Kshs260 million whereas LDK gave us a figure of Kshs141 million. We noted that and ... view
