• 7 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: of problems where locally manufactured agricultural implements do not attract taxes. They were zero-rated but some parts that they imported would not attract the zero-rating. They would import parts but when they produce the whole unit that they have manufactured using local labour and materials they would attract a lot of tax. For example, a plough coming from Brazil or China would be exempted or zero-rated and the one that they produce is taxed. It is not exempted from VAT and for that purpose and with the introduction of the 25 per cent tax on imported metal, the parts that ... view
• 7 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: anchored on policy or permanent. It is something you can get or not. We should drive the Government to come up with measures to help the farmers. Tax reduction will ease or reduce the cost of input for livestock farmers. The Government can reduce or zero-rate tax on livestock feeds, machinery and even the materials that they use to manufacture the feeds. The drugs should also be subsidized so that farmers can produce milk at low cost. That way, their produce will be competitive in the market. With those few remarks, I support. I can see some sections that have ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Yes. I would like to take on what he has said about bumps, but he is not listening. I can see he is consulting. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: He has talked about bumps and we have requested bumps on the Gilgil-Turn Off on the Nairobi-Nakuru Highway. In the last two weeks four, people have died and several have been injured at that spot. Could the Chair tell us the criteria for having bumps erected? We know that building a footbridge would cost Kshs100 million and it can take three to five years to complete. How many people are going to be injured or killed on that spot before bumps are erected? view

• 22 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order 44 (2) (c), I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Department Committee on Education, Research and Technology regarding the demotion of one Mr. Joel Wanyoike, TSC No. 304569, by the Teachers Service Commission from the rank of Assistant Deputy Director/Teacher Management to an Assistant Graduate Teacher. Hon. Deputy Speaker, Mr. Wanyoike joined the TSC on 1st May, 1990 as a graduate teacher. He rose through the ranks to become a Principal---- view
• 22 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, two weeks is not a long time; my only request is that before the Statement is brought, they should give us the opportunity to interrogate it at the committee stage, otherwise, it will be very frustrating for a Statement just to be brought to the House and is just read. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. First of all, I wish to make a correction. There are only two locations in Malewa West Ward; Gatamayu and Tarambete. Secondly, this Statement was as a result of people requesting that they be moved to Gilgil or they either get their services from Gilgil. They were led by their leaders, the MCAs and others. So, I do not know who the Cabinet Secretary (CS) consulted and at what forum. Maybe that is one thing that needs to be clarified. Again, Gilgil is only 25 kilometres from Naivasha and not 60 kilometres. It is sometimes difficult ... view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Education will not accept them if they have stamps from chiefs in Naivasha. We also have the cash transfers which are location-based. We have had cases of elderly people and those with disabilities being captured twice or being left out because Gilgil caters for its locations while Naivasha caters for its own. We are now dealing with devolved units; that is the county, Sub-county and wards. The counties have already realigned themselves. When a Statement is made by the Cabinet Secretary, he is interrogated on behalf of the hon. Member. At that stage, the Member of Parliament should be called ... view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the Statement was at some point presented to the Committee and at that point, that is where an hon. Member--- view
