• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I think what has been misunderstood is, for example, if a punter places a bet and loses Ksh100 and at the end of the month gets Kshs200, the Ksh200 will not be taxed but the difference between Kshs200 and Kshs100. In the Committee, we went through this, but it has flaws as well. How do you prove how many times a person has placed bets and the amount of money lost before winning? We are at the mercy of the betting companies. I support but we need to strengthen this in the next amendment. view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, because I am in the Departmental Committee on Finance and Planning. Paragraph 56 should have been deleted completely. It is Paragraph 57 that we are amending and not Paragraph 56. The way it has been worded in this Order Paper is wrong. Paragraph 56 should be deleted. We are replacing Paragraph 57 not 56. view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I am in the Finance and National Planning Committee, but I disagree with this proposal. When the CS for the National Treasury proposed this amendment, it was at 35 per cent. He reduced it so that he could get enough income. Fifteen per cent was to go to betting companies and 20 per cent to the punters. Now, if we are going to reduce even that 20 per cent to 10 per cent, how will the CS of the National Treasury fulfill whatever he has said? view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I oppose this amendment. view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Yes. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I agree with what the Chairman is saying. The National Treasury moved these things. First, it was in zero-rating. It moved to exempt one year back and then it was moved again. So, the National Treasury should do taxes for eternity because we cannot be moving every year. view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, in this proposal, we want to retain Part C as it is instead of deleting completely what has been proposed by the Mover of this Bill. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: ( Off-record). view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Chairman of the BAC should hold his horses. I would not want to agree with him to reduce the Kshs1.5 billion for land compensation. He said we had given Kshs4 billion but land compensation should not affect Meru County because we are going to have Kenya Electricity Generation Company (KenGen) coming in. We need that compensation to be paid. If it is going to be removed, let it be taken to where we are going to have transformers and other things. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I join my colleague, Hon. Makau, regarding this matter on compulsory acquisition of land. There are many institutions which compulsorily acquire land and, after a few years, you hear that people are being allocated the land. The Committee, which will be responsible for investigating this Petition, should get to the bottom of 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
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: the matter. If the land which has been compulsorily acquired is not used for the intended purpose, it should revert to the rightful owners so that they can make use of it. I support. view
