• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Member for Kilome for that very good question. It is true. It was brought to my attention yesterday that the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is now insisting on cash bond, instead of insurance bond, for all transit goods. This makes the cost of transportation of goods very high. I am also aware that the Ugandan High Commissioner to Kenya protested to the KRA and our Minister for Trade. I am further aware that the Personal Assistant to the President of Uganda has also called the Minister for ... view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is because I am passionate when it comes to increasing exports to our neighbouring countries. Uganda is our main trading company. As I said, the matter has been brought to my attention, and I have scheduled a meeting for next week with the KRA to sort out the issue.

• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me say that the negotiations are at a very delicate stage. They are working on a return to work formula. I talked about press conferences because we do not know what time they are going to finalise. It may be after parliamentary hours. Whatever happens, once it is agreed upon, the Minister will officially come to this House and issue a statement. view

• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am also pleading with the Committee to withdraw the amendment. If you look at the definition of a “health worker”, in the health care system not all people who get in touch with children and pregnant women are professional health workers.
