• 12 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: So, the Committee should arrange to go back, see what is happening and bring a report based on those corruption allegations so that we can deal with it and ensure that this noble idea of putting a buffer between us and the criminal Somali Al Shabaab agents does not stall. We have seen the damage that the Al Shabab has done in Kenya. Some people want to tell us that we have no problem with Somalia and yet, only the other day, we had a diplomatic spat with that country. People should learn to be patriotic. Even if I am ... view
• 12 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Otherwise, I support this good Report. The Government’s idea of putting a buffer along our border with Somalia is noble and must continue. However, the Committee must make arrangements to go back and do proper checks and balances. They should do a serious oversight and come back with a report telling us what we need to do to curb any corruption aspects that are affecting this noble idea. view

• 14 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. May I first take this opportunity to thank Members and thank God for taking care of all my colleagues during the long recess.

• 14 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: I was not prepared to speak to this Bill; I thought we were going to revisit the previous Bill. I want to thank you for your consideration and wish everybody a good Valentine. view
• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Bill. It is good in terms of enhancing relationships and business opportunities for our country. The countries that we are seeking to enter into bilateral air services agreements are good countries. Bahamas is good for tourism and Jordan for business. For Jamaica, I urge the authorities to ensure that we do objective business and we do not extend it to the other business that they like doing that corrupts the minds of young children. My concern is that, in the past, Kenya has been friendly in opening up its ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very noble Motion. I want to say that the Auditor-General is doing a very good job. The essence of kick-starting parastatals in this country was to create jobs and generate revenue for the economy which would go a long way in helping the country in raising the financial muscle that we need. Unfortunately, because of political appointments which are done through political bigwigs, a lot of parastatals have been run down and areas that were targeted to raise money for the economy of ... view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity. I wish to obtain a Statement from the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries on the disbursement of the Sugar Development Levy that has been given to millers since its inception and when it was suspended. Each time a sugarcane farmer took his product to the factory, it attracted some tax called the Sugar Development Levy. view
