• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Through the methods they have used, they have created employment upon employment. How did China with 1.6 billion people become a First World? Now it is second as an industrialized state in the world in a period of 30 years. It is because they invested in domestic industries. Today, we are importing mitumba and enjoying tax exemption from Malaysia, Singapore, USA and Germany. Therefore, we are destroying the economy. We are destroying RIVATEX and whatever else we had and exporting jobs to those countries. This Parliament advocates for exemption of taxation on those imports. We are importing thousands of motorbikes, ... view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 25 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. I want to just pass one or two messages. One is that in future all our budgetary processes should target those sectors that can improve the economy of this country. For example, we should allocate more funds to industrialization where we will create wealth and employment for our kids so that we do not have rampant insecurity as we have now. We should increase funding to the tourism sector so that we can create wealth and increase income of Kenyans in this country. view
• 25 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thirdly, we should increase allocations to such areas as horticulture, coffee- growing and tea-growing which earn foreign exchange to this country. I urge the Budget and Appropriations Committee to look into these areas so that we can enable our country to compete with other countries. view
• 25 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: A few years ago, Kenya was the leading exporter of horticultural crops but today, we have been overtaken by Ethiopia. What is it that this country has done to overtake us? view
• 25 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: A few years ago, Kenya was also the preferred tourist destination in East Africa but today, it is Tanzania. What is it that this country has done to overtake us? view
• 25 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: We should look at those issues instead of spending money on the Recurrent Expenditure where we do not create wealth for this country. We will not be doing this country justice until and unless we attend to those issues that can improve the economy of this county. There is the issue of Kshs.80 million to audit our Constitution. I do not see why it is raising a lot of hullabaloo. We are tasked with the issue of saying whether the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be ... view
• 25 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Constitution, which we promulgated some four years ago, is serving the purpose and the intention of Kenyans. We need to establish whether we have a better Constitution which will serve us better. Is it serving us better? Do we need all these commissions, for example? We have the Commission on Revenue Allocation which says that we should do away with the Provincial Administration. The day we will do away with the Provincial Administration in this country, this country will be worse than Somalia. I can assure you of that. Is that what the Chairman of the Commission on Revenue Allocation ... view
• 24 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: You are taking our time. view
• 24 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute to this Motion. First, I want to bring in new facts. The first is that most of these crises are fueled by Western powers. They have done it in Northern Africa; they now want to move to Central Africa. They started in fact some 54 years ago in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and there has never been peace there. This is because they want to have crises there so that they can exploit the resources of that country and Africa, for their own benefit. South ... view
