• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: This is commendable because it touches fundamentally on management of costs in terms of sugar production in this country. We know that Kenya is flooded with sugar from the black market and importation. We can afford to import cheap sugar from other countries and yet, within our own periphery, we have quite a number of sugar industries that have been doing well and contributing enormously to the economic growth of this country. view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: It is quite surprising to note from the Mover that the transportation cost amounts to almost 60 per cent, with about 15 per cent being VAT. It is the responsibility of this Government to critically look into the cost factor in terms of sugar production. We need to have a commodity in the market that is affordable and accessible by Kenyans. view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Sugar cuts across board. It is an item that is consumed by the rich and the poor. When you look at that commodity, we need to critically know what we exactly need to help farmers of that region to enjoy subsidies, just like those from other regions.

• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: There is a song from one of our greatest musicians on the issue of VAT, pedestrian tax and other taxes. In as much as we agree that we need to have taxes to raise revenue and income, there is also the component of looking at the effect of taxation in some of the sectors of our economy. This is especially when it touches on the lower cadres of our community - the income earners. Therefore, we significantly need to look at strategies that we can use as a country. They will enable our farmers, especially those who are producing maize, ... view
• 9 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to join the rest of my colleagues in condoling the family of the late Mwendwa. The late Mwendwa was a prominent Kenyan who served this country with dedication. He exhibited a lot of self discipline when it came to dealing with national matters. We need to emulate the likes of Ngala Mwendwa in this country. May his soul rest in peace, and may his family be guided. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman for recognising that hero. I support. The amendment gives the terms of reference on how some duties will be executed. It also creates an orderly way on how the Council will be governed. More specifically, it highlights the relationship between the Council and other bodies because it is a fact that it will not work in isolation. Therefore, there must be an understanding on how these institutions will relate with each other. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you. As we support the Division of the Revenue Bill, we have to realise as a nation that devolution has gone a long way and every Kenyan is waiting to see its fruits. Issues to do with public finance management need to be properly emphasised in this country. We need to see the results of devolution. There is too much wastage of public resources at the county level. Too much corruption is bringing down our counties. Every Kenyan is up in arms asking what is happening. They want to see services being delivered to them. It is high time ... view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support. This is an issue that is very clear. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. My reaction is to the amendment on Clause 14(b) on the deletion. view
