• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This Motion has come in timely. My concern is that the Government has been view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me a chance to support this Bill. It is timely. It has come at the right time. I have gone through it and it is very detailed. It explains who a taxpayer is and it also explains how we should keep our records and tax assessments. As we discuss this Bill, these tax procedures are going to apply to Kenyans because they are the ones who pay these taxes. The sole purpose of us paying taxes is to improve our welfare. Therefore, the officers at the KRA wake up every morning go to their ... view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: every day, you will find that there is corruption, theft and embezzlement of funds. People wake up to collect this money and it goes to the National Treasury but the message which comes out clearly shows that funds are being misused. We know we are passing this. We want to support the Government of the day so that it can fulfil its mandate to provide us with infrastructure. view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: I come from Kisii Highlands where we have a big challenge on roads. A time like now when it is raining people are not able to move from one point to another. The President came there and promised us that the Government will do roads and people were very happy. They went home with hopes that the roads will be constructed. As we speak today, people are wondering when the roads are going to be constructed. As we speak here now, I understand that the Government is overcommitted. As we make the Budget, we should realise what we have as ... view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you may be aware, I am sure, what we pay annually as our national debt is close to Kshs280 billion and the interest may be close to Kshs180 billion. If you add that money, you will find that the annual payment for our loans is close to Kshs440 or Kshs450 billion. We are putting pressure on the KRA to collect the money and we are getting about Kshs1 trillion. view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: We are putting pressure on the KRA to collect money. We get around Kshs1 trillion. What is left to share amongst ourselves is about Kshs67 billion. It is important that those who are charged with the responsibility of using national resources, right from the county level to Members of Parliament and any other organisation funded by the Exchequer, account for such resources. It is unfortunate that there is no single day that passes without hearing a story on how money was lost at the county level, the National Assembly or the Ministry of Devolution and Planning. When questioned, somebody says ... view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: In Kisii County, where I come from, the Rural Electrification Authority (REA) has done a very good job in terms of supplying power. They got funds from the Ex-chequer. It is one area where you can say that the Government has provided funds whose results are evident. The amount of money that is allocated to the REA through the national Budget is very minimal but the impact of those funds in most constituencies is evident. You can see the effect of REA in market places. When you compare the amount of money that the REA get with the amounts given ... view
• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute. I will draw your attention to Article 125 of the Constitution which Hon. Mbadi has referred to. I want to refer to Sub-Clause (2) of this Article. The purpose of Sub-Clause (1) is that a House of Parliament and any of its Committees has the same power as the High Court. view
• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: I want to draw you attention that when the CJ had personal matters, he submitted to the High Court. He appeared in court and gave evidence, yet he is the Head of the Judiciary. That is a point you need to look at as you go through this. The CJ is a lawyer and he is not like Manson here. He has studied this Constitution very well. Article 125(1) which I have referred to is very clear. There is no saving clause that so and so should not appear before the Committee. view
• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as you look at this matter, I want you to look at the issue when we were doing this Report. We should not set precedence for other members who will be called to give evidence because they are given time to appear. I can tell you one problem we are facing at the PAC. We are calling accounting officers and they are not coming. We have been postponing meetings and at the end of the day, we will be late in giving our Report. This is the case and yet we have a mandate to do this Report. ... view
