• 1 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c) I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Energy, Communication and Information regarding the increase of electricity connectivity fees from Kshs35,000 to Kshs70,000. Hon. Speaker, the Kenya Power has stated that this increase was due to the need to meet the cost of connection as it was unsustainable under the earlier fee. The Government had barred Kenya Power from increasing this fee until the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) completed its three months study beginning March to ascertain the real cost of connection. To date, there has been ... view
• 1 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I want to seek the indulgence of this House for us to discuss this matter. I know for a fact that Members of this House are not averse to the passing of the VAT Bill simply because of their welfare. I want to speak as a Member of the Jubilee side of this House. It is about time we learnt to read the mood of the House. It will be wrong for the perception of Kenyans to be that we do not want to pass the VAT Bill, something that is not only important to this Government but ... view
• 1 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I want to be very candid. Yesterday, we had a discussion here with the Cabinet Secretaries and all of us were not impressed by what they did. Today, we continue to have a heavy heart because even on issues where this Parliament does its work for the Government - because we have passed many Bills here--- We have done a lot of work for the Government.

• 1 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Therefore, hon. Chairlady, on behalf of the leadership of this House that sits on this Chair, I am begging this House that we do not interfere with the VAT Bill. Let us use any means available to make our point across to the Government but not to, in any way, dilute the work done by the Committee. view

• 1 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, you remember that we read a number of the clauses in the Bill and that is why I have reported that:- “I beg to report that the Committee has considered the Value Added Tax Bill, 2013 without amendments and seek leave to sit again.” This means that we have not completed and that we seek leave to sit again. view
• 31 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. Is it in order for the Leader of Minority Party to always purport to speak for Jubilee, because he says that the whole of Jubilee dissented? What is “the whole of Jubilee” and are we allowing the Leader of Minority Party to speak about one side of the coalition all the time, as if he has more information than we do? It can never be the role of Leader of Minority Party to lecture hon. Members of the Jubilee side of this House on their roles. Is it in order? view
• 25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing regarding the on-going demolitions in Lang’ata. view
