• 25 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Yes. view
• 25 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity to make my contribution on the Tea Bill. This Bill is very elaborate and appears to me as having been well researched. I am specifically interested in the section that is going to deal with the licensing of the tea brokers. You know that tea brokers are the reason the tea subsector is not paying very well to the farmers who are working very hard. Therefore, the proposal in this Bill to ensure that there is a proper licensing system for anybody who is interested in exporting, importing or marketing tea is something ... view
• 25 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: ensure that we receive sufficient foreign exchange. Therefore, the effort to properly regulate the sector is going to ensure that this country achieves its intentions in the subsector. Therefore, I urge that we regulate all our key cash crops in order to eliminate brokers. Cash crops such as cotton and coffee require thorough regulation of this nature. I support. Thank you. view
• 10 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to celebrate the life of President Moi and add that the President generally meant well for Kenya. However, a coterie of a few ethnic political loyalists around him undermined his good intentions by introducing the politics of corruption, ethnicity and murder and, therefore, undermined his good intentions. May the soul of Moi rest in eternal peace. view

• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Office of Controller of Budget is among the very important offices in our Constitution. It is charged with approving money from the Consolidate Fund Services. When we vetted Dr. Nyakang’o, we were very meticulous. We went through her profile and realised she is a Civil Servant who has served this country for many years and has come out with a spotless career. When we looked at her wealth, we realised it is modest. Most civil servants who have served in the Government for many years have accumulated so much resources. But she was able ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to agree with your ruling. Hon. Moses Kuria mentioned my name and, in fact, added it in the ad-hoc committee. He had proposed it without consulting me. It will be important for anybody who wants to form an ad-hoc committee to engage the membership first before they include any Member to that committee.

• 3 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Having said that, Hon. Moses Kuria is a Member who is not known to participate actively in the Chamber. This Parliament should not be used by people who want to be activists. I know Hon. Moses Kuria. He is a former banker like me. I know that he transacts his business in funerals, local Kikuyu radio stations and other forums on television and political rallies. So, the matters that he has raised, as you have ruled, squarely fall within the mandate of our Committee. The Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning is the most active committee of this House. ... view
• 26 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to ask Question No. 512 in today’s Order Paper. The Question is directed to the CS for Treasury: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain whether the tax amnesty introduced by the Finance Act 2016 to allow Kenyans to declare assets and income held abroad as well as for repatriation purposes was a success as at close of the amnesty period? (ii) Could the Cabinet Secretary give a list of persons and companies whose applications were received and approved or declined? (iii) What was the value of each application approved, and the total value realised ... view
