• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: People can work for 24 hours and that is encouraging. The problem is the high cost of energy. Electricity is very expensive and many people cannot afford it. This Bill addresses that issue, so that everybody can afford electricity. This country has not invested in solar energy which is cheap and can lower the cost of electricity. Although we are headed there, we need to get solar energy, which is cheap to generate. In most cases, it is assumed that solar energy is expensive. I do not agree with this because we have a lot of sunshine in our country. ... view
• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I hope this will be addressed in this Bill. We need to have it streamlined, so that the needy people living in villages and congested areas where they sell their small products for long hours into the night are connected to electricity. The cables should not be diverted and given to people who can afford to pay Kshs15,000 or Kshs20,000. This should be addressed because the people who were to get the drop cable connection at Kshs1,000 are still waiting and cannot afford Kshs15,000 or Kshs20,000. So, Mwea and villages in Kirinyaga where there are many needy people, should be ... view

• 9 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: This Bill is important. Schools are being connected with electricity. We suggest that when this is happening, enterprises should get electricity. We want everybody who is running a small business like a salon or kinyozi to be connected to electricity, so that they can improve their livelihoods. In Kirinyaga, many people are not connected to electricity yet it is full of potential. We have people growing rice, tea and coffee and we want them to be connected to electricity, so that they can extend their business time to 10.00 p.m. I support this Bill and I know it is going ... view

• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I thank the Mover of this Bill. Paying taxes is a key issue in this country because it is now the cornerstone of our economy. I know if taxes are paid properly, today we could be having free education which is very useful to our children because they could be going to school as per the Education Act. We are saying that we need to streamline the systems of paying and collecting taxes to make sure that nobody misses paying taxes. view

• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I belong to the Committee, but I was not there during the stage of this amendment. I want to oppose these words “job seekers.” I feel these words “job seekers” are general words. It is good if we could specify and say Kenyan youth or Kenyan job seekers. If we leave it there, we mean even the foreigners or Al-Shabaab can also come and apply for jobs. It is just left open. I oppose because the word “job seekers” is general. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A ... view
