• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: This is a matter that I will sort out. We are also trying to see whether we can get the fellow whom I guaranteed who was a friend at that time but disappeared. So, that is what I wish to clarify and I hope my supporters and my colleagues have understood it. If I get any further information much later I will let you know but I am working on it. Thank you. view

• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Pukose was passing a document for us to sign. I did not know that I was next. Thank you for the opportunity to support this very important Bill. In fact, it is on the basis of the objects and purpose of the Act, Section III which provides that pursuant to Article 218(1)(b) of the Constitution for the allocation of equitable amount of the national revenue between the two levels of government. This is very important because this is what the new Constitution was to address so that we take care of the national Government and ... view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: here is Kshs1.5 trillion. About 45 per cent of this money is from Income Tax or Pay As You Earn (PAYE), 45 per cent is from Value Added Tax (VAT) and the rest is from Customs Duty, Ministries and so on. We are yet to generate revenue from natural resources like oil. We are still prospecting. Apart from the money we are going to borrow from outside, which is in the tune of Kshs 0.6 or Kshs0.7 trillion, the rest is raised by Kenyans through hard work. They include the old mamas who sell vegetables and such like stuff. When ... view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is a very important amendment to the VAT law. When you look at the Budget Statement that the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury read in this House recently, you will find that the revenue we are able to raise locally to run the affairs of the Government is low. The Budget is at Kshs2.26 trillion but the money we are able to raise locally depends on income tax and VAT. Income Tax is expected to raise almost 45 per cent while VAT is expected to raise almost 25 per cent of the ... view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: that could take care of the whole region. They had very good schools and hospitals within the company and so on. There are many benefits that will accrue with the Government reviving these sectors. Mumias Sugar Company and Nzoia Sugar Company were at the verge of collapse. I thank the Government. As much as somebody said that the money that was used to bail out those factories was from the Sugar Levy Fund, a decision had to be made as to where the money was to be applied. It is just like the Constituencies Development Fund money that we get ... view

• 14 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to support this very important Bill. For us to develop as a country or for any nation to develop, it is very important that the country is opened up and has a proper road network. Whether the road is for ordinary use such as social activities or leisure, or whether it is for tourism and tourist activities, it is very important that it is done. As it is stated in the Memorandum of Objects and Reasons, several laws have been quoted such as the Public Roads and Roads of Access Act, ... view
• 14 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: The Leader of the Majority Party talked about the roads going up to Garissa. I happen to have gone to Garissa by road last week and it took a short time. This is what we need to know as Members of Parliament. It only takes four hours if you have a good car. Going by road to Kisumu, Kakamega or Kitale takes a long time. Over the weekend, I went to Kericho through Naivasha and it took a long time. The road network is very important. Unfortunately, when we went to Garissa and then visited Dadaab, we found that the ... view
