We should also take note that when performing our legislative role, we should not end up in a context where we pass laws that will do the exact opposite. We should not pass laws that cause a great suffering to the people. view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: As we talk about gaming, let us look at how we can balance the cost and get revenue from gaming. I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Sports, Tourism and Culture. I want to indicate that in our Committee, we looked at the real concern that is affecting our population, namely, the youth, women, and children. We were concerned that we should pass legislation that supports the Executive and enables them to protect the populace. In doing this, as a Committee, we were in a position to say that we do not want to do piecemeal amendments in ... view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: We are watching the manner in which the Executive is executing its mandate. We saw the Cabinet Secretary (CS), Mr. Matiang’i, trying to ensure that we do not allow fake machines to continue to destroy the livelihoods of our children.

• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I am happy that you have selected three ladies in a row to speak on matters budget. I think you are one very gender sensitive Chair and I thank you. I really support the Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill because we are talking about ways of strengthening our revenue collection.

A lot of money in this country is ... view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: certificate, that card and that exemption from the Kenya Revenue Authority it becomes an issue. They do not know procedures and that is why we are saying that. As much as we are talking about budget and taxation and the tax laws in this country, we as Members of Parliament have to intensify these campaigns and awareness so that our people know exactly what they are exempted and what they are not.
