• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: We also raise concern that the NGCDF Committee seems not to be very keen on following up this matter. view
• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much. view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I am very proud that our children are here, but I have noted overtime that they come here shabbily dressed. Some have their ties hanging and others have untucked shirts. We are requesting our officers to tell them to tie their ties well because we are all well-dressed here. view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. We discussed this Bill thoroughly. I wish to support this Bill and propose that we all look at it very carefully. The idea of this Bill, apart from tax procedures, is to operationalise an effective and efficient taxation system. Hitherto, our tax base is very small. The fact of the matter is that less than 20 per cent of Kenyans pay tax and, therefore, they support the rest. This is because the 20 per cent is mostly made up of the ... view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: money for up to five years and pay no interest on it. It is retrogressive and will not help us. It will only make the department more inefficient.

• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I thank my brother, Hon. Mule, for donating two minutes to me. I requested for some time because I have come through cases concerning some specialized equipment in this country. view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: One case we took up with the Departmental Committee on Health is in respect of eye surgery. That equipment is in this country. It is specialised but there are no specialists. The specialists were brought in from another country. Despite the fact that the Committee requested that the specialist who was overseeing this facility takes specialist training, that specialist has not done that.

Those people have made many mistakes. The KMPDU has been involved ... view
• 16 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for raising that issue. Firstly, I am in full agreement that this Act needs to be repealed. At the time it is being repealed, we need to look at some of the ramifications, if any. The first one I would like to mention is a substantial property which borders Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) and Nairobi Hospice. That substantial property is in the name of Kenya Regiment Territorial Force (KRTF). When this Act is repealed, I am sure that a system will be put in place to revert that property to the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF). The ... view
