• 5 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to support the ratification of this Convention. As we look at the Report - I thank the Chair and the Committee - it is a very practical solution that would help us to address the key concerns that we have had not only with regards to how we would like to enhance our revenue collection, but most importantly, how we can address the very key matter of tax evasion and avoidance which has in a way always been a great challenge. We are aware, as other Members have indicated that we have had ... view
• 5 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: As I support the ratification of this Convention, I do so because I see it will be an opportunity to take a lot more serious action on corruption. Indeed when we look at the observations that have been raised by the committee, we see that we are going to do it in ways that support the investigative efforts of the tax authority. view
• 5 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, with the observations that I have made, I recognise that we have not had non tax avoidance strategies like what is used by multi-national corporations - very complex and corporate structures - to not only keep money in havens outside the country, but also to continue in secrecy and opacity that completely make our Government unable to engage. Therefore, this Convention will give teeth, dignity and enable us to work with the more than 120 countries to get information. view
• 5 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: I support. view
• 5 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to speak to the next one. view
• 5 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to speak on this Motion. I would like, at the outset, to express my very sincere condolences, particularly to the families of those who have lost their lives as a result of the floods not only in Nyando, but in many parts of Kenya - West Pokot, Turkana and different parts of the country. I agree, indeed, that we in Kenya need to take much more deliberate action. As we talk about Nyando floods, I thank and recognise K'Oyoo who brought this Motion to the House. Hon. Okelo is ... view
• 21 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to speak to this important Report. From the outset, as we look at this very significant Report, which I have already looked at, it is our duty, as Members, with regards to the context, not to look into the alleged leakage of official information by Hon. Gedi. view
• 21 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: When I look at Page 52 of the Report, it indicates the Committee’s consideration of witnesses’ evidence and their conclusion. They have stated that in view of the foregoing, the leakage may, therefore, have happened immediately after the exchange of the letter between Mr. Noor and Hon. Gedi. First and foremost, the premise we would use to confirm the misconduct is not conclusive according to the Committee’s submission. It is extremely important to remember that there is some context which we can infer from facts. view
• 21 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I would like to urge the House to consider the distinction that exists between facts and truths. Facts have evidence and looking at the Report, I can see there are facts of those who walked into the room and were asked questions. The truth, in a way, is extremely important. I want to thank you because as you guided us in terms of dealing with this matter, and you helped us by ensuring that we do not, in any way, begin to look at facts that might not be relevant. As I speak to this very same premise, I feel ... view
