• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Those are workers who form the biggest chunk of the contributors of that fund. If anything, the fund so created has not been given money in a structured way. So, the workers of Kenya and, more so, the teachers, will not be willing to allow their money to be deducted and put in a fund where they are not represented, and they do not know what that money is going to be used for. The teachers of Kenya already have existing housing funds. This will be a duplication of the same process. The amendment has not been allowed by the ... view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, for this opportunity. I want to draw the attention of the House to the fact that this is the same amendment that we have rejected, but it is being brought back in a different way. Therefore, I want to alert the House that it is the same donkey painted in a different colour. It is the same amendment that wants to deduct employees’ salaries by 1.5 per cent. In so doing, it is also asking employers to pay up to Kshs5,000 for each employee. The impact of this is that most employers ... view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, thank you. I withdraw this amendment. view
• 28 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As a teacher and MP for Emuhaya, I must take this opportunity to congratulate you. As a teacher of History and Government, I understand the Commonwealth very well because it is the mother of all the parliamentary systems of the nations that were formerly colonised by Britain. view
• 28 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Having been one of them, Kenya is the bedrock of the principals of the parliamentary system that was able to also accommodate the Monarch. That is why the British parliamentary system still upholds the Monarch while all other countries, including France, do not. I take this opportunity to congratulate you for being appointed the Chair of CPA. This position should go a long way in helping us, new MPs, to also access the Commonwealth grounds and learn more about its undertakings. view

• 28 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I was ahead of T.J. in your original list, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 28 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Looking at the Finance Bill, like one of the Members said, it was a desperate measure to raise funds through taxes. The rider should be that these taxes must not be raised in a way that will completely kill the mwanachi or the peasant. The biggest role of Parliament is to protect the weak local mwananchi. I convince and appeal to my fellow Members of Parliament that as we contribute on this, this is our core business. Being our core business, we should protect the worker, the proletariat and the mwananchi who is being ... view
• 28 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I will be patient. view
• 28 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will do with the two minutes, but this is how we make bad laws. The 1.5 per cent being deducted is not taking into account the fact that we are giving this money to build houses. We have very many poor people in our villages in Emuhaya, Siaya and countrywide, who also need houses. A law has not been made on how to address this particular housing scheme that will affect our people. Already, the amendment in this clause is discriminatory because it is not dealing with housing for all Kenyans. It is ... view
