It obviously means that it will increase the earning capacity of those groups. This will kill out the handouts culture, which has become an endemic in our society. When people have incomes, which are predictable and flowing in their pockets, it is quite clear that they will have to depend on their labour and economic welfare within that group. This is the only way they can achieve their goals. The second element of success maybe that they may bring up ... view

• 22 Dec 2021 in Senate: Nawashukuru wenzangu kwa kupitisha hoja inayowania kuongeza bujeti kwa serikali zetu za ugatuzi. Nitarajia kwamba wakati Wizara ya Fedha itakapo tangaza bajeti mwaka ujao, watatia maanani pendekezo zilizowasilishwa na maseneta leo bila kutafuta mbinu za kushusha kiwango cha fedha kilichopitishwa na Bunge hili leo. Nina imani kuwa serikali za kaunti hazitapata chini ya Kshs485 bilioni.

• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I will be extremely brief. I think the essence of this National Health Insurance Fund (Amendment) Bill of 2021 is to establish the Fund.
