• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, if we do not go to the table and discuss these issues seriously, then the problem will persist. view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you. First, I would like to thank the Committee Chairman for coming up with this report. Secondly, I will also thank the Ministry and the Committee for having invited me when they were discussing this report. view

• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: I was saying that this Committee did a good job and they invited me when they were discussing this Report. Therefore, I only have one issue. The reason why I asked for this Statement is that during the Budget making process, there was a lot of pressure from parastatals and Ministries to build headquarters. Therefore, there is need to have policy, and I am happy that in this report, the Government has undertaken to come up with a policy on Government housing to guide acquisition of accommodation and office space. On this matter, I want a clarification that during the ... view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I am worried that this report does not contain the details we have been given. I want the Chairman to ask the Ministry to counter-check the report. This is because on the list there is a 23-kilometre long road classified as D/E. That road does not exist! Currently, there is no road classified as Class D/E in my constituency, which is tarmacked. Therefore, they need to counter-check to see if this report is not obsolete. view

• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to say some things about this Bill. If you look at this Bill, what we need to appreciate is that we are in a young democracy. Otherwise, this Bill would not be necessary if we were in a mature democracy like hon. Lati has stated. We really do not need a law to give us order. But the reality is different because we must recognize that we are in Africa. If we do not create order, it will cause chaos. There is a precedence which has been set during some functions in this country, ... view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: name is Mr. Limo and I do not care whatever other name I am called. But we just have to put those titles so that it brings order to this country. I am also worried that you find presidents everywhere. Even in the village, you will find presidents of clubs and, therefore, this Bill will bring order. I do not want to add a lot of things. Let us support this Bill and make it see the light of the day. view
• 12 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, first, I wish to say that I support this Bill because it is important. Tax is very important for any economy to grow. For any economy to grow, we must ensure that the regulations for tax collection are very clear and are not very discouraging to the people who are supposed to pay the taxes. Tax collection is determined by the level of economic development and, therefore, it is important that, as we develop these policies which determine the collection of tax, we must bear in mind that we must also encourage investors to invest in ... view
• 12 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Therefore, we should ensure that the regulations which we develop are in tandem with the regulations which are developed both between the national Government and the county governments. If we do not take care, we will find one day that the investors in this country will be moving away to neighbouring countries. That was seen in the VAT Act where, when we came up with the Act, some of the investors, including travel agents, started moving away to neighbouring countries like Tanzania and Uganda. Those are people who were paying tax. Therefore, this Bill has come at the right time ... view
