• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Today, we passed the County Allocation of Revenue Bill for the counties. The Supplementary Estimates will be coming, but I want our people to benefit. We must be sensitive to the needs and wants of our people when we do the division of revenue. view
• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Barasa talked about alcohol, smoking and other things. He also talked about addiction. We want to live good lives and be law abiding citizens. I do not support betting. It should not be taxed 10 per cent. Instead, I want its taxation to be increased to 50 per cent to discourage our children from getting involved in those activities. view
• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Since it is a money Bill, accountability is the basis of any meaningful achievement. Therefore, we want value for our money. As much as KRA is collecting taxes, we want to see the value for our money. We want the taxes translated into development in equal measure. Therefore, I have faith with the competence of the new Commissioner-General of KRA. We have talked about the Banking Act. I do not subscribe and I do not support uncapping of interest rates.

• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this Bill. Actually, the biggest challenge that the Government has is unemployment. There are many graduates who are not employed. That is why personally I support the Big Four Agenda of His Excellency the President, particularly the manufacturing industry.

It is a catalyst and an enabler for the socio-economic development of our country. At the same time, they train skilled personnel. These include plumbers, masons and carpenters, just to mention a few. ... view
• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, recently, we had a serious incident in my constituency where young pupils drowned in dams which were dug by Chinese who were building roads. So, according to powers given to us under Articles 95 and 96, the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) must issue authority to all dams in the Republic of Kenya to be taken good care of. Much as Chinese companies are building roads, our innocent children are dying. view
• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: The management of street children must also be taken over by the Government. We want vertical mobility. The preamble of our Constitution states clearly that sovereign power belongs to the people. So, street children must be taken over by the Government. It is their responsibility. It is also good to have progression. Some children end up being great professionals, while others bring this country glory, honour and recognition through sports. We have great athletes who bring much honour to our country. Therefore, it is important to take good care of our children. Employment can be created in different ways. One ... view
• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Today we approved the county government revenue-sharing Bill. We are waiting for the President to assent to it and then counties will receive money.
