• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I want to thank Hon. Wamunyinyi, Chairman of Sports of Kenya in the National Assembly, for bringing this Bill and Hon. (Eng.) Gumbo for seconding the Bill. We cannot do without sugar. Those who do not consume sugar in tea consume it in Church in the form of wine and in bars in the form of beer and wine. Those who do not consume all that, consume it in bread. This commodity has faced a lot of threat in Kenya. Its cost of production ... view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: major product. There has been a big fight by the Government to limit and completely stop importation of sugar from Brazil because their sugar is very cheap. Sometimes you wonder whether they produce it on land or in laboratories. The cost of sugar from Brazil is so low because it is a by-product. You can imagine competing with somebody who uses their by- product to compete with a major product. In Brazil, sugar is a by-product of energy and when they produce power from cane, what comes out is imported and consumed here as sugar. It is shipped to where ... view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I note with appreciation the production of 5,000 megawatts of fuel in the energy sector, which is a major flagship project of the Jubilee Government. When we encourage private developers especially in private public partnership, to produce power without much taxation, it will make it easier for us to achieve the production of 5,000 megawatts of fuel. On the same note, VAT has not been levied on commodities, machinery and everything else used in the production of power to enable cheaper power production. We should encourage the same in the sugar production, so that we reduce the cost of locally ... view

• 14 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Initially, I had put my request because I wanted to speak to an issue concerning our welfare. I want to request that you give us a Kamukunji because we have a few problems that I do not want to address in public. Some Members have used the gym, but have not showered, just to say the least. view

• 14 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I have not pointed out anyone in particular. Anyone who feels that I have offended them probably falls in that category, but I will come and tell you what I am talking about. Hon. Speaker, I support this Petition. Insurance companies do not like covering very vulnerable groups because they do not like losing money. It is easier for insurance companies to cover vehicles which they know are taken care of by their owners. Before you get insurance cover to cover your life, you are taken through all kinds of medical tests that rule you out. Sometimes, even ... view

• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to support this Petition because Kenya is a very prayerful nation. Sometimes when problems are beyond what we can fathom, we normally end up having very unorthodox methods of trying to resolve the problem and in the process you may The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: create more problems. There is this thing about the forbidden being very sweet. The idea that we are preventing contacts of students with their parents may cause students to be more innovative. I see no correlation between prayers, presence of parents and examination cheating. I support and thank Hon. Chris Wamalwa for coming up with this Petition. We are looking forward to praying with our sons and daughters so that we can make them not only be submissive to the Lord as we do to the exams but it also gives them confidence in knowing that parents and of course ... view
