• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: They are. view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: I think he is right. We need to engage. Look at the database of the KRA and also ask them to make an input. It is true because some of the nominal shares might be far below that. Although I was there, I was not an accountant but a human resource person. It is something over which we can seek a clarification from them. This is something that I can try and get a little more information from them to know what will be the implication. I think Hon. Millie is right. Maybe it is an area we might seek ... view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: I agree with you. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We will do that. view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to also air my views regarding this Motion. I know that I supported the amendments. That is because the amendments made significant improvement on the Motion as it was. However, there are certain aspects of this Motion that I have difficulty with, and would make me unable to support it fully in the form it is. I am personally not comfortable with the issue of bonding. I do not think that, that is the route we should be going. That is taking a shortcut when we know the root ... view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Sorry, I did not get that, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Okay. There is also a fallacy that those officers are not serving the taxpayers when they go out to work in the private sector. That is completely incorrect. If an officer leaves and goes to work with say, Kenya Breweries Limited (KBL) or Safaricom and the like, they are still serving the taxpayers. In fact, those are among the highest taxpayers in this country. It is not correct to say that it is a waste of taxpayers’ money when they move to another section of the economy. Those are corporate taxpayers and they pay much more than anybody else. What ... view
• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to comment on what is going on about the war against illicit alcohol. I support the initiative very strongly. The war against excessive alcoholism in the country is timely and it is something that the whole country and all the leadership should support. The fact that it has reached the level that it has is a telling statement. It means that many things have gone wrong. In fact, we have a whole chain of law enforcers; a whole structure of administration and a whole structure of policemen including Administrative ... view
• 23 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to oppose. If there is anything that should be totally opposed in all these amendments, it is this one. How can we, after giving so many powers and putting into this Bill very high qualification requirements of the Auditor-General and a very rigorous system of appointing him or her, come and say that he or she cannot have an opinion on issues of policy? Suppose it is faulty polices that are making an entity not viable or having loopholes that are being taken advantage of, how can we stop him or her ... view

• 10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. The HELB has played a very important role in our education system. I commend those who started it; it was very visionary of them. The HELB has helped very many Kenyan students who would perhaps have missed university education. It is, therefore, an important Fund. Any improvement, like the one that Hon. Kang’ata has proposed, is worth supporting. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have many students who sit for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination every year. Many of them get the minimum requirement to join ... view
