• 27 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Ahsante sana, ahsante sana. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to pass my condolences to his family, my great people of Othaya and Kenyans at large as they mourn this great statesman. Allow me also, to thank the people of Othaya who stood with the late President Mwai Kibaki for a period of 40 years. I also want to thank Kenyans for giving him a chance to serve them as their President. I want to eulogise a very humble man: a man who, if you remember, came into power and refused to be called Mtukufu. He went ahead to introduce ... view

• 27 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: President Kibaki valued the private sector. This is an area that helped the economy of this country to grow in double digits. If we all remember, the banking and manufacturing sectors benefited from his policies of supporting the best and allowing merit and competition to thrive in the economy. We have to continue coming up with policies that are supportive of the private sector. Even tax laws were friendly during President Kibaki’s reign. We need to continue ensuring that we do not tax businesses out of business. We should have supportive policies that will ensure that the private sector continues ... view

• 31 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support the Bill, more so the critical areas the Bill has addressed and, particularly the NG-CDF - the Kshs4.9 billion. This is the time we need those funds to support parents who are about to take children back to school. I am sure our Hon. Members will appropriate enough money for bursaries because we know that there are difficulties down there. The cost of living is for sure high. The only way to support our population is through interventions like bursaries and the other areas. I also appreciate the inclusion of over Kshs400 ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I congratulate the President for performing this great duty, a constitutional obligation, with distinction. The State of the Nation Address was delivered with precision. It was well detailed. It reflects nationalism and patriotism. It is true that the President has done a lot for this country. He has been committed to ensuring that this nation moves forward in all aspects, that is, politically and socially. It is true that his legacy in infrastructure will go unchallenged for many years. Today, we are able to connect with almost ... view
• 22 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Everyone was saying ‘Madam Speaker’ when there was no Madam Speaker on the Chair but now, I have done it the right way. I am addressing Madam Speaker. I continue with my contribution on the Finance Bill. I support the Committee on the issue on reviewing tax on boda boda . We need to pause that tax because as we speak, boda boda is the single major employer of our youth in this country. We know they are doing a great job. They are contributing a lot to the economy of this country and ... view
• 22 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to start by congratulating the Chairperson for the great moving of the Finance Bill. The Finance Bill has done a great job in terms of housekeeping on tax matters in a number of areas. I would like to commend them for reducing the amount of work that accountants have been doing using the reducing balance method on the calculation of the investment allowances and making it very easy through the straight-line method. We need to keep straightening and reducing the amount of work on the administration of our tax ... view
