• 23 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: As my colleague, Didmus Barasa has said, fuel is cheaper in Busia, Uganda, than it is in Busia, Kenya. Many times, many trucks that pass through the border prefer to fuel in Uganda and make a return journey to this country. The high cost of fuel is dampening the economic and business spirit in this country. It is important at this particular time to relook at particularly how we tax petroleum products in this country. For many years, petroleum products were not vatable but the introduction of VAT in 2019 has continuously escalated the fuel prices. As the world economy ... view

• 23 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I do not know whether it is an exodus from a promised land with honey and milk that Hon. Sankok is talking about. The other side is drier and has more hyenas than those other places. view
• 23 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I stand to support the Kenya National Blood Transfusion Service Bill, 2020. I must say that this has come timely, and probably, as we often say, it is long overdue. I am sure many of us can recall that we have a certain department in the Ministry that has been handling blood transfusion matters. As all of us know, their services have not been equal to the task. That is why you find too many debts and medical problems as a result of inadequate blood or cases where there is no blood at all. view
• 23 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: The cases requiring blood are very many. Allow me to basically talk about sickle cell anaemia cases. I come from Funyula Constituency where there seems to be inordinately high distribution of sickle cell cases. Many times, we spend a lot of money looking for blood for purposes of treating those cases. Therefore, it is important that we, as a community and society, look for blood which is a basic requirement. view
• 23 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have had a chance to scheme through the Bill. I must admit that I have not read the Report of the Committee, but I just want to point out a few issues here. Quite a number of my colleagues have said that many of us who grew and drank President Moi’s milk, namely, maziwa ya Nyayo, were always enticed by bread and soda ya Fanta. When we were growing up in the village, sodas were a delicacy that we could only see once a year during Christmas and Boxing Day. So, when we had opportunity ... view

• 23 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is just a matter of semantics. It depends with what comes first. view
• 23 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It also depends on where you come from. view
