• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to move that The Prevention of Terrorism Bill be now read a Second Time. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be very quick again because we all have faced terrorism. We know what it means. So, it is no longer a theory and it is something practical. Kenya continues to face the threat posed by terrorist groups. The recent attacks view
• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the adoption of these names. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to assure this House that this was through advertisement and they were shortlisted. The other day I told the Treasury bureaucrats that they must reflect the face of Kenya. You will agree with me that they actually do. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support. view
• 18 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) During the period ended 30th June, 2011 and 30th June, 2012, Kshs48,283,121,593 was collected as revenue for fuel levy. This amount was for 5,731,073,531 quantities of fuel.

• 18 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the balance of about Kshs1.7 billion is agency commission by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). view
• 18 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, I asked for a copy of that agreement that was signed with the KRA but I could not get it because I was coming here. However, I am told that it is something that was agreed upon. In any case, the KRA collects money even for other bodies on commission basis. We even want the KRA to start collecting the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) fee, the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) fee and the Catering Levy Trustees (CLT) fee so that we centralize these collections. This is because it is quicker, cheaper and ... view
• 18 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to bet with hon. Shakeel that if the KRA were to do this, they would collect more money than those organizations. When the KRA was given a job by the Nairobi City Council to collect their rates, their rates tripled. view
• 18 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would rather go by your earlier guidance of Tuesday because we need to look for these documents. view
• 18 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to speak on two issues because I understand we need to finalize the Bill before 6.30 p.m. The first one is on compliance of the law. Yes, it is true that we are increasing and adding new laws. But we need to comply with the existing laws. We need to enforce the existing laws. I will give you one example. It is stated very clearly in the Traffic Act that slow traffic should use the left lane. In fact, on highways they say: “Keep left unless overtaking.” What do we ... view
• 18 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, lastly, I want, again, to speak about the use of mobile phones when driving. Again, the law is clear. You should not use your mobile phone while driving. Please Minister, enforce that. We are told that using a mobile phone while driving is worse than driving under the influence of alcohol. Lastly, I am glad that we are now enforcing a rule. I see our ladies, when they are being carried by boda bodas, sitting on one side. It is dangerous. Even if you are wearing a mini skirt, it is better to put your ... view
