It, therefore, still has the thumbprints of the imperial power. It is a tragedy on our part that 40 years after Independence, we have not been able to have a home grown Constitution ... view

If you do not want to surrender it, then you will have to pay tax on it. Imagine you own property, including land or a house in Nairobi.

• 16 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second this Motion. First of all, I wish to commend the Minister for the work he has done since taking office.

However, since then, I have found out that this is an idea that should have come many years ago. I think the Minister must be commended for ... view
