• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I second. view
• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support. It is a matter of concern that has been raised before, especially the wordings of how the Treaty Making and Ratification Act is actually designed and formulated. They bring us the treaties when they have already been discussed and approved such that, essentially, Parliament has only two options, either reject in total or rubber stamp what the Executive has already discussed and agreed. I hope, going forward, we will have a system whereby it is a participatory process that Members of Parliament, in view of Article 95, get involved in the treaty-making ... view
• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as we discuss about defence co-operations, we also have a myriad of issues with neighbouring countries. We hope in the fullness of time the Government of Kenya will also have an arrangement with neighbouring countries. I have about 80 of my constituents who have been arrested by Ugandans in Lake Victoria and have been slapped with heavy jail terms and fines. It has now become a source of worry and stress to the families concerned. In the meantime, I support. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for ... view
• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to contribute to the amendment Bill on the Floor of this House today. view
• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, payment of taxes is a responsibility of every citizen in any jurisdiction or any country. That is why all governments have a body mandated with collecting and disbursing of collected taxes. KRA is proposing to change from KRA to KRS. This is indeed what we call changing the forest but the monkeys remain the same. We just hope and pray that the monkeys do not remain the same as they change the forest. We have the responsibility to pay the taxes. Indeed, KRA needs to change its mindset, from an authoritarian organ to one that serves ... view

• 17 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. The fight against corruption will remain the cornerstone that will save this country. This country has enumerable resources, but we have been unable to take-off because of ethics and corruption issues. Before I make general comments on this matter, I want to draw the attention of the House and support the sentiments raised by the incoming Governor of Trans Nzoia County, Inshallah . The Report is very clear in respect of the nominee Mr. John Ogallo. When you read page 20 it clearly states that Kenya ... view
• 17 May 2022 in National Assembly: Secondly, the other Nominee, Dr. Cecil has an impressive Curriculum Vitae (CV) but the plot over. When she was at Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS), she did nothing to solve integrity issues there. There could have been a systematic problem and probably, we can excuse her for that matter. However, I urge the Members of this House, and the public that Mr. Ogallo is a wrong Nominee for that particular post. Hon. Speaker, the fight against corruption must be intensified. The friction between Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) is a ... view
• 17 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the Nominees were presented to this House on 12th April and committed to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. They got their tax compliance on 19th or 12th May, a month, or several months later after applying for the job. view
• 17 May 2022 in National Assembly: The question we are asking is, how then do you fail to pay taxes which in turn becomes an integrity issue? Thereafter, you rush to go get a compliance certificate which you even pay half, a quarter of the amount due, then claim to want to sit on an Integrity Committee? It is about morals and has nothing to do with the law. view
