• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I know where the controversial issue in this Report took us. It is just by putting the name “Kidero” here. That was the issue that has landed us, as a Committee, in the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). Let me put it in proper perspective. There are four parties involved in this exportation. The four parties which are involved are: Mumias Sugar Company, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), the importers and the regulator which is the Kenya Sugar Board (KSB). Out of the 22 witnesses that we called to compile this Report, none of them mentioned the name ... view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: None mentioned Kidero! Just a moment please. Let us understand the whole issue - where we are coming from. Just hold on. Hold your horses. You cannot just do with Kidero. If your read the last sentence of the amendment that Hon. Washiali moved, you will find it says:- view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: “The Board of Directors through the chairman, Dan Amayo, submitted that the board will carry out a forensic audit on the export like it had done with the company sugar imports and it will give its findings to the Committee in six months.” This has not been done to date. view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: So, we could not name names and investigate the institution concerned because we did not know who was involved. Yes, Kidero is an exporter and there is an importer who is supposed to take the sugar to the countries where it belongs. There are people who are supposed to ensure that the sugar crosses the borders and that is the KRA, the police and the KSB. So, there are many parties involved in these things. That is why we left the investigating agencies to do investigations and bring the culprits to book. view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: So, it is up to the House to judge. We have made the disparities very clear in observation 92. Order! view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: If you read observation 92 in the Report, you will find that we have mentioned all those disparities in exports, what crossed and what we were told. The KRA informed us that they only had the forensic issue that was captured but they do not know up to date the amount of sugar that crossed the border and the amount that did not. That was the KRA. I do not understand that. If the KRA that is supposed to collect taxes has not done that and it does not know where the sugar is, who is Kidero to know? Kidero ... view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: recommendations 113, 114 and 115 capture the issue of exports alone. If that is not enough, it is up to the House to add the name “Kidero” or the name “Nooru” if it has evidence to add the name individually. view
