Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to thank the Member for this Petition. As in his constituency, my constituency of Rongai is also subdivided into areas where teachers do receive hardship allowances and other areas where they do not. He has talked about harmonisation. I think that is where they need to focus on so that we have harmony within one sub-county. Re-zoning should be done as quickly as possible. I thank him for the Petition and we pray that it goes through.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to this Bill. A lot of people have spoken and we are all in agreement that we collect a lot of taxes but we do not utilise the money properly. There is so much corruption in this country. There is no single day you wake up without reading about corruption. There is corruption everywhere. The tax laws being amended are the Income Tax Act, the Stamp Duty Act and the Value Added Tax (VAT) Act. The amendment to the Income Tax Act seeks to reintroduce a 20 ...

will mean that there will be import tax but then those people will not be able to claim on VAT. This means things like medicines, milk and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) will become extremely expensive. Those items are mainly used by the majority of Kenyans. These are 90 per cent of Kenyans who are very poor. They depend on LPG, milk and medicine. They require a lot of medicine. Shifting those items to the exemption schedule will mean medicine and LPG will be expensive. I do not support the amendment. I believe that those items should be left at zero- ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to the President’s Speech. He began his substantive Speech by acknowledging the importance of the Constitution which gave birth to devolution and resulted in county governments.

3 May 2018 in National Assembly:
We know the Constitution is very critical and important and devolution is what many Kenyans desired. They received devolution because it decentralised services and brought development to many areas of this country. The President cited an increase in the monies from the national Government to the county governments from 2013 when it was about Kshs.210 billion to Kshs.327 billion in the Financial Year 2017/2018. These figures are impressive but then he also acknowledged that corruption is a lethal enemy in this country. I will quote, he said, “There are individuals who fraudulently and corruptly divert public resources to benefit themselves.”

3 May 2018 in National Assembly:
For the public to accept what the President said there must be political goodwill so that we can stamp out this very lethal enemy. Corruption will kill Kenya if we do not tackle it. On the economic front, we acknowledge what the President said and we commend him for his Big Four Agenda namely: Universal healthcare and in this he wanted to give everybody access to quality and affordable healthcare. It is only the other day when we debated a Report on Kenyatta National Hospital. We saw how terrible the healthcare system is in Kenya and KNH is in the ...
