• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand here to support the Motion before us and I want to be very brief. Many of us were taken aback by the announcement that was made by the President on Friday. It is good that you have clarified the matter. At least, the nerves that were racking around have settled. That is why I approved the previous Motion. I agree that we are living in the most unprecedented times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As the Government puts up various measures to contain the spread of COVID-19, it risks the other side of the ... view
• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Unlike what happened in April last year when there were measures to cushion low income earners, this time round, there is none. Those people are asking why they should always carry the burden of bad decisions made by the Executive. Why should they be the sacrificial lambs? They have lost their jobs, homes and livelihoods. Their relations are strained. They cannot feed their children. They cannot afford basic needs, et cetera . view
• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: As we proceed on recess, it is important that Parliament does not lose sight of its constitutional mandate as enshrined in Article 95 of the Constitution, which requires it to deliberate on matters affecting the people of Kenya. There is no single time that the work of Parliamentarians is required more than now. It is important to note that COVID-19 is going to be with us for many years to come. The literature on this matter is available locally and internationally. As my colleagues have said, the only savior is the vaccine. In Kenya, we have reached the point of ... view

• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also stand to support the Petition by the Woman County Representative for Busia which is my County. In Busia, our big concern are teachers with their unpaid pension. Half of the time I am in Nairobi, I spend my time chasing after pension for teachers and others from various Government departments. It is like you are going to a dead office. You will be tossed from one point to another without much help. They have continuously said they are procuring a pension management system. I say so because I sit in the Public Accounts Committee(PAC) ... view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am a member of the Committee and I stand to support the VAT (Electronic Tax Invoice) Regulations 2020 published as Legal Notice No. 189 of 2020. In the endeavour of Kenya improving on the ease of doing business ranking in the world, there has been need to continuously review the process and procedures involved in invoicing and collection of taxes. All along, there was a regulation in 2004 in respect of electronic tax invoice but, due to the challenges, the same was abolished and that is why the CS in charge of Treasury ... view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: In reviewing these particular regulations, the Statutory Instruments Act literally limits the mandate of the Committee to various issues. One is to confirm whether there was public participation. Secondly, to confirm whether there was a regulatory impact statement. As part of the team, we confirmed there was adequate public participation in view of the nature and type of regulations at hand. The main purpose of these regulations is to standardize the generation of tax invoices so that wherever you go or wherever you are, it is standardized and is of the same style and nature. It is envisaged that this ... view
