It is time that this House took its work seriously because we pride ourselves as a budget making house but we continuously allow the National Treasury to abuse our mandate by allocating money under Article 223 without being verified. - @KIMANIICHUNGWAH#BungeLiveNA
Last week the CS Education was right here. You remember me putting it to the CS that there are indeed cartels that have taken over the running of the State Department for University Education. - @KIMANIICHUNGWAH#BungeLiveNA
If you look at the documents that were tabled by the CS, Mt Kenya University is being allocated in the last FY, a figure of Ksh 731 million when Karatina University is down on its knees. Egerton University is being closed down! - @KIMANIICHUNGWAH#BungeLiveNA
It is immoral, it is unethical of us as leaders to be allocating money to private business, in the pretext that we're funding what we're calling publicly-funded students in private universities. - @KIMANIICHUNGWAH#BungeLiveNAtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
I did put it to the CS here last week, that until they give us a forensic audit showing us who are these students in these public universities? If you go some of these universities getting 700 million, this money is being allocated to mere numbers not students. There are not… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Look at the figures going to Kabarak University and when we talked about state capture in this country people thought we were playing around or playing politics. - @KIMANIICHUNGWAH#BungeLiveNA
Business people have taken over the running of government ministries, business cartels have taken over the work of legislating and appropriating resources on behalf of the people. - @KIMANIICHUNGWAH#BungeLiveNA
It is you members who are charged with that responsibility of appropriating money not business people out there who are appropriating money for profit not for public good. - @KIMANIICHUNGWAH#BungeLiveNA
We must now rise to the occasion and appropriate money appropriately for public good not for private profit. - @KIMANIICHUNGWAH#BungeLiveNA

I am actually surprised that after they've won the election, the "ground" does not seem to matter and those people don't seem to matter. I just want to warn them that if you don't listen to the ground right now, kitawaramba when the time actually comes. - @Lesuuda#BungeLiveNA
I want to tell the same hustlers who have been forgotten that once the 16% fuel levy is increased, they will really feel the pinch because the cost of living will actually go up and even the cost of manufacturing will go up. - @Lesuuda#BungeLiveNA
We're saying we're creating jobs but if the manufacturers and the investors will run away from this country, how will we be creating employment. - @Lesuuda#BungeLiveNA
For seven years we've been kicking the can of taxation down the road hoping that the next dispensation shall solve the problems we're causing. - @KiarieJohn#BungeLiveNA
This Finance Bill that has been adjudicated in the court of public opinion has been laden with a lot of misinformation. People have been going to tv stations, funerals and meetings in their constituencies prosecuting matters that are not even in the Finance Bill. - @KiarieJohn… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The first thing I'd like to ask is that we all acquaint ourselves with the content that is within the Finance Bill. As we talk, about one or two taxes that are going to be raised, we should also be talking about the 21 odd taxes that are due for reduction. - @KiarieJohn… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
We didn't take an oath to lie, we took an oath to defend the Constitution. The first thing I looked at when I read the report of the committee was to look at the submissions. I am aware of KUPPET, KNUT, from other people including farmers in my constituency. They're not attached.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The people of Kenya have spoken in public forums and said this Finance Bill is oppressive. As a Parliament we're left with one thing to do...to relook at it and say this one wamekataa, can we give them what they want. - Hon. Nabii Nabwera #BungeLiveNA
I want to help my colleagues, is it true that there are no other ways of raise the money? The answer is no. I serve in the Public Accounts Committee and if we were just to close the taps of pilferage, we raise Ksh 600 billion...the money we're looking for. - Hon. Nabii Nabwera… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
For the welfare of the society and the just government of the people, I rise to oppose. - @hon_wamuchomba#BungeLiveNA
For the welfare of the people of Kenya that qualifies them to eat well, eat three meals a day...that is the way to make the welfare of our people better. - @hon_wamuchomba#BungeLiveNA
For the welfare of the society and the just government of our people, it is our business as the representatives of this House to make sure that our people live happily, improve their welfare and make them feel they're sovereign according to the Constitution. - @hon_wamuchomba
We need to look at the basics. Kenyans do not have food, we're telling them how to house them. While defending this, the other side has spent a lot of time trying to tell us that this is an opportunity to create jobs for the youth. - @CGisairo#BungeLiveNA
Can you tell us exactly what this levy is? Is it a job creation levy or a housing levy? We've changed it from a contribution to a levy, moved it from a provision where after 7 years, the contributors had a way out or to stay in clause - @CGisairo#BungeLiveNA
Now it's a levy which makes it a tax generally. That side as they sit there, they're at pains. They're trying to convince Kenyans the unconvincable. They're telling us that it's us who are trying to explain to the masses, the masses are not illiterate. - @CGisairo#BungeLiveNA
