• 5 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 5 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Another element that is exciting about this Convention is the fact that many of those 135 countries that have ratified include many of the tax havens. These are countries that attract a lot of illicit money; corrupt money that goes out of African countries such as Kenya. They are countries in Europe in the Caribbean and Indian Ocean that are well known for providing places to hide money. The KRA should use this opportunity to ensure that it reaches as many people as possible in that bracket of people who are required to pay taxes. view
• 5 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: I want to give just one message as a final conclusion to this. It is important for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to intensify its efforts to put together treaties because I can see that this particular Treaty was signed in 2016.

Member has said that we have another means other than… Members of Parliament can be away on missions or they could be engaged in committee work or may not be well and are not here. To say that a Member has to be here at the exact moment when the Leader of the Majority Party is reading his statement of who is going to answer what question the following week is not by itself sufficient notification. view

• 28 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: There are standards in other parliaments where you can be notified other than on a particular day. Why is our tradition different from all other parliaments, particularly from the Commonwealth? view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance. I stand to support the Equalisation Fund Bill of 2019 brought by Hon. Kamket. view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: It is important to look at our history as a country. We are a country of many nations that were artificially created by the colonial system; and in that process the colonial system built an economic system based on the exploitation of resources from the much more productive regions in the Kenyan highlands. They built the necessary infrastructure to exploit and export those resources for the benefit of the colonial power. view
