• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to beseech the Government, even in terms of taxation. It has become very easy to collect fuel levy from the fuel sector. Excise Duty is amongst the easiest levies to collect from the fuel sector. Can the Government diversify into other areas of taxation? Are there sectors which are not being adequately taxed in this country, like the Capital and the property markets? Are we adequately taxing these sectors? view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: I am convinced that the Government can study the political situation in the world, because international politics sometimes impacts on us negatively. There are challenges like the situation in Libya, which I am very sure, we should have been able to detect more than a year ago. As a country, we should have been able to detect the situation in the Arab world last year. Upon such detection, we should have been able to buy our fuel last year. view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, yesterday, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance made some adjustments in Excise Duty, but I wish he could have taken an extra step to make adjustments even in the Fuel Levy. For instance, if he had zero-rated the Fuel Levy on diesel, it would have resulted in a price reduction of not less than Kshs15 per litre of diesel. The adjustment on Excise Duty is going to reduce the price of diesel by Kshs2 or less and, at the end of the day, nobody is going to celebrate that reduction. view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: So, this Government should be able to stand up to this kind of situation. We should probably be more proactive than we are now. view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 14 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will take just 30 seconds. I also want to support this Report. Secondly, I want to thank the Minister for building large dams. Waziri, please, make sure by the time we go to elections next year, we have another ten large dams. With those few remarks, I support. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir for giving me this opportunity. I would like the Assistant Minister to tell us why some roads already classified as C have not been tarmacked while, in some other parts of this country, even roads which are classified as D and E are tarmacked? Why is it that roads classified as C are not tarmacked? view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has indicated that Mr. Oudu was paid terminal benefits to the tune of Kshs823,000. I just want him to go further and give us the breakdown of the Kshs823,000, hoping that it does not include his pension. That is because pension is his money. It is not part of his terminal benefits. view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was just wondering whether the Assistant Minister can go further and tell us whether this Laico Regency Hotel, together with other assets of the Libyan Government in this country, is among those assets which might have been frozen by the international community. view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Prime Minister for coming up with this very important Statement on the current state of the national economy. However, I am not satisfied with the Statement the Prime Minister gave. The Prime Minister told us about the capital markets. While I thought the Prime Minister would come and tell us how many Kenyans have gone above the poverty index, got access to healthcare and clean water, how many good roads have we done during this period and whether we have accessed clean energy. I would like the Prime Minister to tell us ... view
