• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: That is exactly what I want to say. Maybe, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you can invoke Standing Order No.57. view

• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute. First, I want to say that I support the Special Economic Zones Bill No. 6 of 2015. The balance of trade in Kenya is that we import a lot more than we export. I believe we will be able to produce enough to export and maybe have a good balance of trade immediately we have these Special Economic Zones.

• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, countries like Singapore and Malaysia have developed because of having such Special Economic Zones. This Bill seeks to establish Special Economic Zones which will be designated at geographical areas which will have enabling policies for one to do business. Why many people do not do business in Kenya is because the environment is not enabling. Our way of licensing investors take quite a long time and with these Special Economic Zones, the way of licensing has been well specified. The good thing about the Bill is that it declares that any land that has been alienated ... view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think research is very important when we have such Special Economic Zones because we need to continue researching so as to improve our Special Economic Zones. The period for licensing should also be specified because I think we have very many problems when it comes to licensing. I hope we shall have a short period for licensing these people who want to operate in the Special Economic Zones. The other good thing about the Bill is that it gives protection of the intellectual rights of any person who operates there. It gives full protection of ... view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: The Bill also provides dispute resolution mechanisms. There are mechanisms to deal with disputes that may arise. On transfer of land to the Special Economic Zones, it gives an exemption on the stamp duty. That will make the land really cheap and affordable. It is a good Bill which is in our Committee. We shall have many amendments when we come to the Third Reading stage. With those few remarks, I wish to support. Thank you. view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to add my voice in support of the Motion. East Africa is integrating economically, especially in trade protocols. Having a protocol on co-operation in defence affairs will strengthen the security of this region. Since we share so much in common, when we share defence affairs, it is going to enhance security in the region. Kenya is advantaged compared to Uganda and Rwanda which are land-locked. Kenya has a navy and so if the other states co-operate, it will be of good use to the region. Exchange of information is ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: because we can get ideas from all the other countries. It will be good to have a united force in place. On the agreement of the establishment of the Eastern Africa Standby Force, it is a force that can help when we have problems in the region. We will not have to look for forces from each country because there will be a standby force which will have trained and worked together and will be able to tackle any regional issues. When we train our forces together, it can be cheaper and better because we shall have specialized training for ... view
