• 7 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: I would like to touch on a few areas and especially the amendments. With regard to the Competition Act, No.12 of 2010, this Bill seeks to amend that Act. The purpose is to provide clarity and to align it with the international best practices and also ensure that there is reduced regulatory and transaction costs. We realize that this country has actually suffered the wrath of Kenyans in the recent past because of the high cost of living. When the cost of doing business s high, it contributes to increased cost of goods and services. We need to make amendments ... view

• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I rise to second and support the Report of the Mediation Committee.

• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Committee had set aside money for these hospitals. We actually proposed to ring fence the budget for the Level 5 hospitals. But later, at some stage, the proposed amount was put into counties allocation to come to the figure of Kshs226 billion.

Deputy Speaker, our Committee also looked into the ... view
