Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman.

20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and my colleagues for passing and agreeing with the Presidential Memorandum. The matter that was before us this afternoon was very important. I am sure the President must have looked at the law. This House has passed the Fair Administrative Justice Act which says that each and every person, whether public or private, must be given a fair hearing. Secondly, Section 17 of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission Act says that it is only the Commission which has power to hire and ...

20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the Excise Duty Bill, 2015 be now read a Second Time. After harmonising customs legislation in the region and in the East African Community Customs Union (EACCU), there is need for enacting separate excise duty legislation. Our East African Community partners have a separate legislation for Excise Duty. Kenya has continued, for a long time, to use the Customs and Excise Act for the administration of Excise Duty. Our East African partner states have been urging Kenya to create a separate legislation and that is why we have, today, a new ...

20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, Hon. Junet is completely out of order. He is talking to me across in vernacular. He is telling me to see him after this. I would like to tell him that this is not the party caucus. This is a Chamber. This Bill provides that, in order to prevent revenue leakage, excisable goods stored in a factory of a licensed manufacturer shall be subjected to the control of the Commissioner at any given time, even when they have to be released. That is part of the leakage that this Bill wants to seal. It also provides that such ...

20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly:
This Bill prohibits totally the removable of excise goods from excise control without an excise stamp unless with approval. It gives control that nobody can remove goods if the excise stamps are not there, or without a written approval of the Commissioner. The Bill provides for a refund on excise duty paid on excisable goods that are damaged or stolen. Sometimes it happens that when these goods are in a warehouse, they are damaged or stolen. This Bill provides a mechanism in which the investor or the owner can be refunded the Excise Duty that he paid. The Bill also ...

So, banks will be forced to merge. If you look at it from the other side, you will find that the Chairman of Equity Bank, a man I respect a lot, started Equity Bank with Kshs2,000 shillings. Why are we not giving that opportunity to Kenyans of this century so that tomorrow Hon. Chachu Ganya and many others can bring resources together? I think Members of Parliament must look at that. At the same time and more importantly before I finish, the CS is again trying to propose or double the capital of insurance companies from Kshs300 million to Kshs600 ...

20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I want to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues who contributed immensely to the Excise Duty Bill this afternoon. It is a very important Bill. It touches on spirits, the tobacco industry and provisions that will help Kenyans who have diabetes. The most important thing is that the provision of this Bill is to consolidate the imposition and collection of excise duty into one major, separate law called the Excise Duty Act. This, as I have said earlier, is in line with the East African Community Customs Management Act (EACMA). ...
