• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: looking forward to. On that, we shall be supporting it strongly. I also urge Members to support it because it is very important for all of us.

• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hiyo . The maize flour. Moving it to a tax bracket where it will be higher and the Government is making extra money from the flour, would be very wrong. We should be fighting to move to a level, like other developed nations though we may not be having the capacities, where when you go to any hotel, you are given ugali for free, then you can buy other things.
