• 25 Feb 2021 in Senate: Umenipatia nafasi. What a nice one. Mwenyekiti wa Kamati, Sen. Kibiru, amezungumza hapa kwa urefu kuhusu vile ambavyo tumepata shida na Waziri ambaye anasimamia fedha kutokuja mbele ya Kamati yetu. Hatua imechukuliwa kwamba wakati tunazungumzia Division of Revenue, tutakuwa na mazungumzo ya kindani kuhusu ni kwa nini anapuuzilia Kamati ya Seneti na hata yule ambaye alikuwa hapo mbeleni, hakuna mmoja wao ambaye aliona umuhimu wa kuja katika Kamati ya Seneti.

• 25 Feb 2021 in Senate: Kwa hivyo, ni jambo ambalo tunafaa kulizungumzia kama Seneti. Si jambo la Kamati ya Fedha na Bajeti pekee. Ni jambo ambalo tunafaa kuazimia hapa na tuseme kwamba tumechoka and enough is enough . Let me now continue in English language. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I must point out that the BPS is a very big concern. Although the Chairman did not mention, the Government has guaranteed a loan of Kshs41 billion to Kenya Airways (KQ). I have a question. The Committee Chairman mentioned that we must continuously ask the question, is Kenya Airways a going concern? When they have a ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in Senate: It is sad that they can shift money so easily, that you can move Kshs1 billion on conditional grants and yet if you were to request for the additional funds to make it Kshs371 billion to counties, we would have to form ―Team Kenya‖ here to get it. Sen. Kibiru is right and this question must be asked. Catering Levy is part of entertainment tax in the Constitution. Why is this money not given to counties? That is something we have asked and we will continue addressing; it is not here. Although county governments have been given what would be ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in Senate: is not paying property taxes for purposes of buildings in Nairobi, including where we are seated today. Public debt is a matter of concern. When I moved the Motion to reject the ceiling all of you were looking at me with glazed eyes. I will not tell you why you were looking at me with glazed eyes, but I will repeat: It is a matter of concern. It is crowding out division of revenue. I am not concerned about the others. We must continue asking the necessary questions about public debt. When we were discussing this issue Mr. Temporary Speaker ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in Senate: Will the real men stand up and say ―No‖ to these debts? They are terrible debts! view
• 25 Feb 2021 in Senate: These loans are terrible. At 36 per cent, we will not be able to pay these debts. I have asked the fundamental question. We must ask that question while we are discussing debt where is the paper work on the SGR? Is it true that we have put the Port of Mombasa as a collateral? Is it true also that that document concerning the SGR speaks about an arbitration in Beijing, China and it is in Chinese language? Can we ask these questions my dear colleagues because this is our country? Who becomes President is not going to change that ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in Senate: Bw. Spika wa Muda, mtoto si wetu, ni wa Chama cha Jubilee . Hatukuwa mahali mlikuwa mnafanyia hayo maneno. This is a very serious issue. As a Senate, we must interrogate. That is the reason, as a Committee, we have said that when you table a BPS, and you are talking about debts, either retiring debts or acquiring less expensive debts, you must submit a debt register as part and parcel of the BPS. Otherwise, it is assumed that you are hiding things to create a crisis, so that you say without increasing the ceiling, we would not be able ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in Senate: Kenya is written, it will have a chapter about the unnecessary borrowing by the Jubilee Government. We must say so whether we cooperate or agree, it does not really matter. However, that chapter will say that we have committed unforgivable sins to generations and generations to come. What Sen. Kibiru said is correct about the KRA. I have sat to negotiate on behalf of clients on payment of taxes. The Act talks about promoting a business environment. You cannot criminalize payment of taxes. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, these people go to lawyers and take away their money. They do not ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in Senate: Have you requested for me to vote? view
• 24 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Statement and at the onset say that I am happy that it has been raised by none other than the Chairperson of the Committee on Health, Sen. (Dr.) Mbito. I read an article yesterday or the day before yesterday about suicides in Japan and all over the world post-COVID-19. It is actually a very serious issue that should be given priority and attention. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have an entry point to suggest. I am aware that a report and an audit on the use of COVID-19 funds has been ... view
