• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for the opportunity to give my farewell to my colleagues whom we have been together for five years. It has been an honour that we have been under your leadership. In fact, I was amazed by the way you know everybody. One day we met at the entrance and you called me by my name and where I come from. I thought you did not know me because I was not a frequent speaker in this Parliament. I thank God that He has given you that memory to know each one of us by ... view
• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: been able to achieve, having been a contractor for many years, is I have never started a project that I have never finished. I have always made sure that whatever I start, I finish. Therefore, I thank the people of Masinga for that opportunity and I know they are going to re-elect me for another second term so that I can continue to serve them. The other thing is that they gave me a platform to help people that can never help me, those are, the poor and orphans that I have been able to educate. I have been able ... view
• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Report on the Annulment of the Scrap Metal Dealers Rules brought by the Committee on Delegated Legislation. While it is a good business to earn a living especially in these times that there is no employment and the Government is not employing people, it looks as if it has gone out of hand. This business is very lucrative and people earn a lot of money out of it. In fact, in one of the committees that I am a member of, that is the Committee ... view
• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to finish. What is lacking in this industry is, the committees that are charged with monitoring and also enforcing the rules that are supposed to be followed by the industry are not able to do it because it has become a rogue industry. We have heard our Hon. Members say that even sufurias are taken away when food is boiling. This is a very bad image and it shows a very bad monitoring policy, especially when the Government has spent so much money building our roads and the rails ... view
• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: people can fear because now they are losing business, revenue and income. That should be a learning point that they should have some decorum in the scrap metal business. Therefore, we do not want to punish them but if regulations are followed, people will be earning their living peacefully without destroying anything that the Government is putting up. With those few remarks, I support the Committee and pray that it shall continue doing its work. view
• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to air my views on the change of the name of KRA to KRS. This is a good idea. This is because, after some time or years, the institutions normally rebrand themselves to do some innovations and attract customers. For this institution, this is a service they render to Kenyans. The service is to collect revenue from the incomes that companies make and the VAT’s and so forth. Therefore, they need to appeal to their customers who are the tax payers so that they can attract them and be ... view
• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support. view
• 7 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to add my voice to this Motion because I came late. I said that before we closed Parliament, I needed to register my voice in the House. I thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to do so. view
• 7 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: I deal with a few people who have been asking when the Supplementary Budget will be brought in the House. There are so many pending bills in the ministries and State Departments that need to be cleared. Some of the questions will be answered by passing this Supplementary Budget. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 7 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: People will be paid even before 30th June which is the close of the financial year of the Government. Therefore, I thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee for bringing these Supplementary Estimates, so that we can clear some things. People are saying that they have no money in their pockets. We need to put it in the pockets of some suppliers and contractors who have supplied a lot of goods and rendered services to the Government. Therefore, it is important for them to receive what belongs to them, so that they can do their businesses. view
