• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I also support this amendment because everything which is done has to have a timeline. If you have a timeline, it will be very effective in terms of the projects. We are also going to avoid additional costs for the Government. There are so many projects which do not abide by the timeframe as indicated. So, after a period of time they add extra costs just to ensure that that project commences. So, this is a good proposal and I support it. view

• 22 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I would like to appreciate Hon. Gladys Wanga together with her team for the good work they have done on the Finance Bill of 2021. I just want to agree with her that it is a difficult time for our country.

• 22 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other proposal which I found to be good is the one that ensures the National Assembly has a role in approving tax regulation. Before, we were told that it would be just the Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) doing that: doing the gazettement without the input of the Members of Parliament. We are representatives of the people in the entire 47 counties and we need to have a role on that. So, I really appreciate that issue. view
• 22 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: The other issue which my colleagues have already talked about is the issue of boda boda and that is because of the rate of Excise Duty. The boda boda have created a lot of employment to our youth. So, if you put that Excise Duty on motorcycles, it will really affect this industry. Right now they have very many challenges. Again, if you put that taxation, then it will be a burden. I welcome that because now even the boda boda guys are happy to hear that we are talking about their issues. view
• 22 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other issue is about the Retirement Benefit Act which talks about Post-Retirement Medical Fund. Right now, we have too many people who have retired. There are Kenyans who are really suffering from cancer and other acute diseases and yet they do not know what to do because there is no fund which can be used to cater for their medical expenses. I propose and endorse what they have said that there is going to be a scheme in the name of Post- Retirement Medical Fund. view
• 22 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Another issue is the Excise Duty on locally manufactured sugar. Right now, if you just move around here in the streets of Nairobi, you will see several products which are being done from sugar confectionary and white chocolates.
