• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Can I have one or two more minutes? view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: I wanted to say that I hope the Committee has brought an amendment to this one. There is no need to relax tax penalty. Those who are supposed to be faced with tax penalty are people who have failed to pay tax. They should pay tax. Those are people who need no favour or mercy. They should pay even a higher penalty. With those few remarks, I support. view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Nothing much to add, Hon. Speaker. I second. view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, with all due respect, I know issues of finance and taxes are difficult. I know we have three issues, namely the tax laws, the Supplementary Budget coming in the afternoon, and the Duale Motion on COVID-19. Some of the comments I hear from my colleagues can wait for the Duale Motion and we concentrate on the tax laws. view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. First of all, as a House, the practice and tradition has been that we support as much as possible reports of various committees brought to the House. However, we must also be fair to Kenyans especially where employment or job opportunities are concerned. A Motion presented to this House which has the effect of denying a Kenyan placement must be considered properly and thoroughly. We must make sure that we are fair to those Kenyans. We all know that getting any job ... view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: The reason given for denying Mr. Ng’ang’a an opportunity to serve in the Commission is the issue of age. This is something that Mr. Ng’ang’a has no control over. He cannot make himself younger. If he does that, it will be forgery, which he will be jailed for. So, what do you expect Mr. Ng’ang’a to do with all the qualifications that he has and he has been offered an opportunity when the only viable reason is age? I know we need to provide job opportunities to the youth, but this is the wrong route to take in providing opportunities ... view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I take note of what Hon. Thuddeus Nzambia is saying and I appreciate that he is still learning Parliament procedures. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was on the point of this lady being denied the opportunity because she is holding dual citizenship. Why did we then allow dual citizenship in this country if we cannot allow them to work? There are some duties like serving in the Kenya Defense Forces (KDF) or the National Security Council (NSC) that require total and a hundred percent loyalty. In my view, we are being unfair and these ... view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Hon.Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to end there because I can see the Chairman wants to rise on a point of order. Really, on issues of dual citizenship, I do not think there is any Point of Order that he can raise on that, unless it is a point of argument. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I oppose. view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we need to give respect to this House. When a Member makes certain remarks and is unable to substantiate them, he not only needs to withdraw those remarks, especially if the allegations are directed at colleagues, but he also needs to apologise. When, for instance, you refer to me as a propagandist, it is scandalising. Therefore, Hon. Omboko Milemba should not be let to go with that. He must not only withdraw, but also apologise to the Members who spoke ahead of him, whom he considered propagandists, which we are not. view
