• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: We know that the Government is suffering because we want good roads, good hospitals and good learning institutions. We need a lot of money. Such institutions like casinos, lottery clubs and betting companies make millions of money yet the Government is suffering. Some of these businessmen are asking for a good business environment. This is quite unfortunate. view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I urge the KRA team to sit and look at all the avenues of collecting more taxes. I would like us to amend the law so that some of the stakeholders can be Kenyans. Countries like Rwanda, Ethiopia and many other African countries have incorporated such proposals in their statutes. If you are expatriate from whichever country and you want to do a certain kind of business, you have to give some shares to some citizens. view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: It is quite unfortunate that productivity amongst our youth has really gone down. Today our youth do not sleep. They use their phones betting on SportPesa 24/7. It makes sense and it is logical. Even if I was to be the one to make money using a phone rather than go looking for a job, I would do it. This is another culture where our youth might be wasted. They may not think or become creative, innovative or adapt to the system of working. So, slowly we may be a betting country instead of a working country. The electronic version ... view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: We have so many graduates today but rarely will you find them looking for jobs anymore. You always find them betting. The betting craze has even interfered with domestic lives. Husbands and wives are fighting because the mama may use the money she is given for view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: to bet. She loses the Kshs100 and the family goes without eating. We can also look at this issue in more diverse ways and see the harm it is causing us. There is need for control. The issues of permits and shareholding are critical but most importantly, the CEO and his team must take control. view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I will not conclude my submission without saying that it is normal standard in any other country, be it in Europe or America, for these organisations to be bound to pay back to the society because they also earn from the society. We do not see their corporate social responsibility at any point yet we know that many institutions today are in the frontline with corporate social responsibility. We expect charitable organisations to equally benefit from this business. view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support. view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will try to use few minutes so as to also allow my colleagues to contribute. I want to thank the Committee for the good work it did to remove Kenyans from the streets where they were closing down businesses in the name of the IEBC must go. I am sure some quarters are now happy with these results. I categorically support this Report but with reservations from the amendment that has been praised by several Members since we started this sitting. I want to bring to the attention of Members that we are ... view

• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: nominations especially when polling stations are merged. This is because this denies old persons and persons with disabilities an opportunity to go and cast their votes. All aspirants in Nyandarua County collected funds and presented them to The National Alliance (TNA) Headquarters which gave us what they had for other counties, and we conducted nominations in every polling station. I believe this nomination was free and fair. I also believe that it is possible to have free and fair nominations. We are the people who can make free and fair nominations. My good friend, Hon. Ababu, spoke about freedom of ... view
