• 14 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, there is an issue I wanted to seek your indulgence on. As you can see, this afternoon, we have passed legislation on the Fund but now we have more serious business of the tax laws and the Motion. The time now is 5.00 p.m. and normally view
• 14 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: our business ends at 7.00 p.m. Do you not think that it was very important for Parliament to have been listed as one of the essential service providers in this country? This is because everything that the Government does requires legislation and legal backing. The only body that is constitutionally mandated to give legal backing to Government action is Parliament. We are constrained. All Members will want to contribute on that Motion as well as on the tax laws. There can be no taxation without Parliament. It is only the people who are seated here who can approve those taxation ... view
• 14 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I have an issue which I want to raise with you. The guidelines you issued were very clear and among the best I have ever read. Hon. Speaker, one of your guidelines was that anybody who is above the age of 58 years should not appear in the Chamber. I can see Hon. Kimunya and Hon. Pukose here. These are octogenarians who should be at home. We do not want to lose any Member of Parliament. Another one is the Member from Meru, Hon. Kubai. Hon. Kubai retired from the Civil Service before we were born and he ... view
• 14 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This country has created many funds many times and those funds are normally not managed very well. I want to tell Members of the committee on that Fund that this is not like the El-Nino funds or the other funds which people were “eating”. If you eat this one, you will die of COVID-19. I can guarantee you that. Hon. Speaker, what has also shocked me is… view
• 14 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, what has shocked me about this Fund is the way the corporates in this country who have been put in that committee are behaving. I checked in South Africa and found that they have created a fund similar to this. One organization only - one business organization - called Oppenheimer has contributed over R1 billion whereas in this country, the only corporate that has contributed, I am told is Cooperative Bank with Kshs100 million. The rest have not. How can you be milking people all year and declaring unimaginable profits, yet when the country needs you most… Where ... view
• 14 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is our responsibility as an oversight body to account for that money or to hold the committee of that fund accountable. The corporates must know that this is the time the country needs them most. There is no need for declaring profits of Kshs20 billion, Kshs30 billion, Kshs60 billion or Kshs100 billion. All that money comes from the sweat of Kenyans who are today suffering under the coronavirus. From tomorrow I want you… Aliko Dangote in Nigeria has contributed ₦ 1 billion to the Nigerian Fund. Safaricom have, at least, has given a lot of support through ... view

• 17 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this is a very important Bill for this House, one that divides money between county governments and the national Government. You remember last year we had a stalemate for almost six months. We had several mediations. We do not want the Senate to say there was no public participation. We want this House to be told whether there is a report as requested by Hon. Rasso and, if so, it should be tabled. We want to see the report. This should have been tabled two days ago. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to second. view
