• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I commend my Chair for moving this Bill adequately and sufficiently. I will just point out a few highlights because he has enumerated most of the key points in the Bill. Perhaps, what he forgot to mention is that this Bill is also introducing an export levy on copper waste and scrap metal at the rate of 20 per cent. The Scrap Metal Act of 2015 banned the exportation of scrap metal unless the exporter had obtained the necessary authorisation from the Cabinet Secretary. This provision is supposed to help the local iron mongers ... view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is an aspect in this Bill of making sure we remove duty on items and specialised equipment for the development and generation of solar and wind energy. Contrary to what has been said in the media that we are upping the cost of kerosene, our Committee rejected that proposal of increasing the cost of kerosene. We assure Kenyans that there would not be an increase in the cost of kerosene. This morning I heard a Member of Parliament indicating that this Finance Bill contains provisions for us to levy VAT on fuel. That law was ... view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second the Motion in rejecting the nominee for the position of Chairperson of SRC.

We have vetted the nominee and found him to be below integrity levels required for the holder ... view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: investigate and to present to Kenyans fairly and freely our findings to support our decision. It is also important to remind Members that, according to the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act of 2011 Section 9, if we had not moved to vet the nominee, if we had boycotted as some quarters were suggesting, the nominee would have automatically become the Chair. That is because in one way or the other Parliament, must reject or approve. Therefore, we were in a catch 22 situation. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: There were some people who were expecting us, perhaps, to mistreat Ben Chumo or to create a lot of drama and theatrics. But the law requires us to maturely and decisively ensure that nominees presented to us are asked questions as per the Act. The Act lays down the procedure, and even the sample questions in the Schedule, on how we should vet. We have no apologies for having sat down to vet the nominee. We have been up to the task. We have deeply vetted the nominee, and we invite Members to discuss our Report and support us in ... view
