• 18 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: at the National Treasury together with our parliamentary staff, who have provided a lot of technical support. Our nation is one of the most heavily taxed nations in the world because our revenue is tax-based and because of that, we continue to… view
• 18 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you for the protection, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As I was saying, our nation is one of the most heavily taxed nations in the world. Our revenue base is mainly tax. At times it is difficult to escape from the fact that we continue to put pressure on people who are already burdened with taxation because of limited revenue base. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I cannot agree more with the previous speakers, that we must address graft and corruption. We must also address spillage or loss of taxation. In Kenya, we have the second set of county governors, who ... view
• 18 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: the greater part of the Rift Valley. These areas are endowed with a lot of natural resources including minerals and they have the potential for agriculture. One of the things that we can do at the policy level is to open up these areas by improving the road network. We are happy that the road from Isiolo to Moyale has been done and it has opened up that area. We are hoping that the Government will start the project from Isiolo to Wajir to Mandera whose funds are available; the road from Garrisa to the Liboi border and the Lamu ... view
• 29 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Let me start by saying that what has happened in Inyali, Kalalani and Kiwanja Ndege is actually a serious violation of human rights. I am not concerned whether that area is in Kitui County or in Tana River County, but what I want to… view
• 29 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for protecting me. I do not understand why somebody will say that this in a park while there are settlements which have been there for a long time. If we have laws in this country, did the Inspector-General of Police have a court order to do what he did? This is a country of law and order. We cannot allow somebody to take the law into their own hands and go and destroy property, leave people homeless and they suffer because of somebody’s indiscreet decision. It is important that the people who did this ... view
• 29 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: order? That is exactly what has happened. Let us not incite the emotions of people in this nation. We need to promote living together harmoniously. We do not want to polarise people because the economy and the people of this nation depend on peace and tranquility. With those few remarks, I condemn those acts. view
• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. From the outset, as a Member of the Departmental Committee on Health, I thank the Committee and all the facilities that we visited to come up with this Report. I also want to support my Chair for the statement that she made that this Report was ready before we looked at the Budget. Having seen these problems, we tried to factor in collective actions. Unfortunately, these were not implemented at the Budget level. We have four national referral hospitals. Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital and National Spinal Injury ... view
• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: The biggest problem with KNH is that it is overcrowded. One of the things that have made it that way is because the counties around Nairobi; that is Kiambu, Machakos and Kajiado refer many people there making it extremely crowded. We want to appeal to those counties to take up their jobs so that we minimise these many referrals. view
• 27 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital has pressure of work. It will be important in future to consider another referral hospital in western Kenya, either in Kakamega or Kisumu, so that we reduce the pressure on that hospital. There are two other referral hospitals which are Kenyatta University Teaching and Referral Hospital which is a new hospital and Mwai Kibaki Teaching and Referral Hospital in Nyeri. We hope that they will reduce the pressure on KNH. view
