• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am satisfied with the responses I have got from this chair and may I congratulate the chair of this committee. It looks like this committee was waiting for a competent chair as we now do because as we say what a man can do a woman can do better. Hon. Chair I am impressed that because of this query, the KRA has gone back to its investigative and compliance checks and you now see that several companies have been netted to a tune of more than a billion in terms of taxes evaded. This has resulted in ... view
• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: people is when they declare themselves for tax. So, you need to know how many bottles per a company are related to the bottle tops because bottle tops... view
• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: When I talk about these issues, the Member for Suba South is unable to understand me because the man feasts on water and water alone so, he does not know how these issues sometimes affect some of us. Hon. Speaker, you and I, understand these things. view
• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the bottle tops are the ones that draw taxes. So, if you can relate the two you can relate with the companies that are involved in prudent production. I have detailed information about the empty bottles. However, I do not have information on the bottle tops. So, I ask with a lot of respect that the Hon. Chair of the Committee asks for a clarification so that we get information on the bottle tops, so that we can relate to the empty bottles and have our issues prosecuted. Hon. Speaker, you saw the other day at a place ... view
• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you. I am not going to take long because Members must speak before they rise. Hon. Speaker, this is a matter which we should not be testing our testosterone levels between the Judiciary and the Legislature. I wish that the people who are managing various departments of governance would have seen that the interest of we, the Kenyan people, is sovereign. Every decision you make must consider what we, the people are saying. I do not want to say so much about the Chief Justice because so many people have said things about him. He is a man I ... view
• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: and their hard-earned democratic space… and then you express yourself that your role is simply to see. How simple can you be simple? At the end of that discourse he says that we have to enjoy this peace together. That there is no gain without pain and that we should endure the pain together if this is going to lead us to a transformation agenda. Well, if you have to enjoy the pain, you are going on terminal leave, go and enjoy that pain but do not bring Kenyans as a country, into this type of pain. This is not ... view

(3) Women and men have the right to equal treatment, including the right to equal opportunities in political, economic, cultural and social spheres. (4) The State shall not discriminate directly or indirectly against any person on any ground, including race, sex, pregnancy, marital status, health status, ethnic or social origin, color, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, dress, language or birth.” But when you turn the page, it says different things.

• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: had one way, but in that one way he has time to think through. He has one way, but he has time to think through, like Hon. Mutunga thought through and decided to exempt the 10th, 11th and 12th Parliaments because that advice is not implementable. view
• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: As I sit down, I want to advise the President, although I do not have the authority to advise, but I know the President has very good advisors and he will know just as he has read very correctly his functions under the Judicial Service Commission. The Judicial Service Commission said they would take some names to him and the law says that, “he shall”, but he said in public, and I agree with him that if these people thought he is just a figurehead, that his duty is just to convey things, then why do they bother to take ... view
• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I do not know why the Chief Justice somehow called a Press conference to address the President. I have seen you several times take Bills to the President for assent. You stand there in your place as the Hon. Speaker, Sir. The President also looks presidential while signing the Bills. This is how it should be because this is public service. I have never heard you call a Press conference to address the President when you transmit Bills to him. So, how can it be that a head of an institution as serious as the Judiciary must choose ... view
