• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. Sorry because of scarcity of printing material. I have to share with my colleague and neighbour. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Sorry, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Technology found me, so I have been struggling to master. But I am trying and will manage in due course. I think the laying of this Motion on the Floor of the House is most timely. In the sense that it is time, as a country, we seem to have awoken and realised that corruption is a serious cancer. Unless we tackle it, we will take this country into… view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I hope you note that I have been interrupted.

They are jobless and they lack any sense of employment or income generation because they have been denied an opportunity ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon.

• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I stand to support the proposed amendment by the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. I say so on two accounts. While it might be desirable to increase the Capital Gains Tax from 5 per cent to 12 per cent, this is at the wrong time. The real estate market, especially the housing market, is doing so badly such that increasing taxes will reduce housing absorption and purchase. Secondly, in a country where we do not account for the inflation index, by increasing the rate of Capital Gains Tax from ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: I stand to support the proposed amendment. Those of us in the housing sector know that one of the greatest impediments to house ownership and increased velocity of the housing market is lack of affordable finance. If we get any avenue that provides finance at affordable terms, we should encourage it. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: I support and I believe that this is a progressive approach. We hope the Central Bank of Kenya, the Insurance Regulatory Authority and related authorities will come up with progressive regulations and rules to enable effective implementation of the amendment. view
