• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Corruption is the reason some of us are coming up with amendments in our corruption laws. The kind of impunity we are seeing in our country is because one can do anything in this country even in broad daylight. You go to our courts and come out scot free. We have to make people fear being corrupt and that is one of the reasons some of us are going ahead to amend our anti-corruption laws to include stiffer penalties, including enlisting some of these crimes to be punished through capital punishment. I was very happy that last week in China, ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Even as we borrow from countries that have eradicated or brought down levels of corruption, I am happy about a country such as Singapore which we can borrow from so that we can mitigate and protect public money from this kind of blatant stealing. In 1986, there was a Cabinet Secretary in Singapore who was in charge of housing. He was accused and was under investigations before being found guilty. He tried to call President Lee Kuan Yew then, but the president advised this gentleman who was his personal friend to first finish up with the equivalent of the Ethics ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: In our country, we are at a level where instead of being ashamed when you are found committing corrupt acts, we are actually celebrated. This has to come to an end and we must have stiffer penalties. I am happy reading recommendations of the Committee. They are very specific even to the officers. As we talk about the National Land Commission (NLC), it is not led by animals or robots. It is led by individuals and these individuals led by the Chair, Professor Swazuri, have to carry personal responsibility even as we continue with the probe of this theft and ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I am very disappointed by the many commissions we formed in the new Constitution. The NLC was instituted to provide solutions to the much bedeviled land sector in this country. However, since the inception of the NLC, we have had more land problems than before. The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) is another commission that has witnessed more accidents during its tenure on our roads. The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) has witnessed ballooning of the wage bill since its creation. view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: As I wind up starting with the NLC, we have to rethink whether these commissions are serving Kenyans or it is just a way of siphoning public money through increasing the recurrent expenditure that we are all trying to bring down so that we can create more money to go to the development of this country. view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Therefore, all the officers that are mentioned starting with Professor Swazuri to the people who paid at the National Treasury and the Attorney General, they all have to carry personal responsibility. view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support this Report. view

• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the chance to contribute. From the outset, I support the amendments. With regard to stamp duty, as a young person, I am very happy that, progressively, many of the issues we are passing here are youth-based. I say so because a majority of young people in this country do not own homes and therefore exempting duty to the first time owners goes a long way to giving the youth of this country, Government support when it comes to home ownership. I also have to say that I am very happy to have the ... view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I am talking about revenues on public money and therefore corruption. view
