• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Investors are not running away from this country because they do not want to invest, but because of the complexity in taxation. You are told that you will be taxed a certain amount, but when you land, an officer from the county government comes up with another type of taxation. We should ensure that this country speaks in one voice. I encourage county government to come up with innovative ways of collecting taxes. They should move away from the traditional ways of collecting taxes from mama mboga and the view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: people. We want a more innovative way of collecting taxes. They should move towards introducing advertisements. The Government has invested a lot in street lighting. County governments should take advantage of this and construct good billboards on poles to raise more taxes. We want to hear county governments coming up with Finance Bills such as this one, but exempting mama mboga and boda boda operators from taxes so that our people are relieved from poverty due to lack of employment. The reality is that we cannot promise our people formal employment. We should encourage them to set up businesses through ... view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, as much as we appreciate the amendment by the Chair, in adding more qualifications like a master’s degree, I want to plead with him that this might not be necessary. In engineering, what is very important is, at least, the qualification which was in the original amendment and the experience. If you look at a paper and throw away the experience, there are very good engineer who cannot necessarily go to school but they have mastered the art, according to me. I urge the House to reject this amendment. view
• 26 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: The Warehouse Receipts System Bill is very important for this country. Agriculture is the mainstay of our economy. In fact, it has contributed to our economy for a very long time. It has been the leading foreign exchange earner. Before I contribute to this Bill, I want to bring to your attention challenges which have faced the agricultural sector, other than those of warehousing. The tea sector has recently faced The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 26 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: many challenges in labour. It is high time the companies involved in tea production recognize the importance of stabilizing the market. The other issue which is of great concern is about the flower sector. Though it has contributed to our economy a lot, we want to bring it to the attention of the Government. We want it to investigate. There are some companies which are not practising good practices. They register as small farms and yet they are not. There is a company called James Finley which has started a farm in my constituency. It is recognized as a small ... view
• 26 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: in the agricultural sector are seriously regulated. We do not want issues of Kenyans being mistreated by foreigners in the name of having tea or flower farms. We ask the Government to look at the investors, especially in Kericho County, vis a vis the welfare of the workers. Then, it should ensure there is stability in the market. Agriculture is the mainstay of this country. I ask this House to support. I ask the Executive to be on the lookout to ensure that no workers are mistreated in this country. No amount of intimidation will be tolerated. I support this ... view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to support this Petition. Youths are very important but unfortunately a lot of effort has not been put on building their capacity. As much as we appreciate that there have been efforts to empower the youth, little attention has been given to capacity building as we allocate money and even give them opportunity. We were supposed to build their capacity so that they take up opportunities to build or empower themselves. view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Therefore, I urge that we come up with a comprehensive way of dealing with the youth so that they are really empowered and the country will move forward in a very structured manner. view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I support. view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As I rise to contribute to this very important Bill, I wish to say that it is timely. It has come late, somehow, because the Constitution, under Schedule Four, has classified the roads under the national Government and the county governments. There has been a lot of confusion in the rural areas as to who is responsible to do roads. The passage of this Bill will clear a lot of doubt in the minds of the people. Under this Bill, boards like the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) and the ... view
