• 18 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the Chairpersons under this system are more like conveyor belts. They are like the postman. We need to bring Cabinet Secretaries here. Hon. Mbadi will agree with me that ministers used to feel the heat. Members would tell ministers that what they have brought to the House is not true. It was good when ministers were here. I do not want to quote who that was, but I remember one of the Attorney- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 18 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Generals who served in the 10th Parliament was one time told by a Member that he was the most incompetent Attorney-General in the Commonwealth after he answered a Question. That Attorney-General has now retired. Every time I meet him, he reminds me of what happened in the 10th Parliament. It is not good to harass chairpersons here. We want CSs here. If the CS was here, the Professor would have told him that what he said was wrong and the Speaker would have directed the CS - because he would be a Member of Parliament - to go to that ... view
• 18 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Okay, it should be 75 per cent or even all of them. Hon. Cheboi, the Speaker, Hon. Mbadi and Hon. Sophia were in Parliament when ministers were Members of Parliament. You could deal with many things. Government was in Parliament. The Minister for Interior was in Parliament. You would have tea with him and sort out your issue. The Minister for Roads was in Parliament. The Minister for Finance was in Parliament. There was proper accountability. We have an opportunity as a country. We have seen how a presidential system has worked since 2010. Let us not harass the chairpersons. ... view
• 18 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this matter is very clear, both in the Constitution and in the PFM Act. Once this House passes a supplementary or the main Estimates and the Appropriations Bill is passed and warrants are presented to His Excellency the President, which we always witness, that matter settles there and the money goes to the respective units, even if it is the smallest village. And nobody can change that. Even the CS for the National Treasury cannot change that unless through Supplementary Estimates. So this is a very serious matter. This was in a Supplementary Estimates, which means this money ... view
• 18 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following procedural Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 30(3)(a), this House resolves to extend the sitting time of the House until conclusion of the business appearing under Order No.11 in today’s Order Paper. Hon. Speaker, Order No.11 is the Second Reading of the Finance Bill. We are aware that both the Budget Estimates and the Finance Bill have a timeline of 30th June. In fact, by 30th June they must be assented to. We only remain with next week, so we should finish the Second Reading today. In line with ... view
• 18 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to second. The Speaker alluded today that this is the first time this House is dealing with the Finance Bill at this particular moment. Some of the Members will agree with me that the Finance Bill used to have a timeline of three months from when the CS gave the highlights of the budget estimates. So, the deadline for the passage of the Finance Bill used to be 30th September. However, because that law was declared unconstitutional, then we are forced to adopt the current practice. I think it is tidy and decent that, ... view
• 18 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Finance Bill 2020 that the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and National Planning has moved proposes to support the 2020/2021 Financial Year Budget. The tax laws support vulnerable groups in our society. But the Finance Bill that is before this House is supposed to support the 2020/2021 Financial Year Budget. In this Bill, careful analysis has been made by the National Treasury that put in place packages of sound fiscal measures to support Kenyans through their businesses during this emergency period as well as support the recovery of the economy. So, I think Hon. ... view
• 18 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: and KRA. What we expect is a Finance Bill that is not controversial coming to the Committee of the whole House stage. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me go to the six key areas that this Bill touches on. First, the Bill proposes amendments to the Income Tax Act in order to raise the upper ceiling of the monthly rental income that is subject to 10 per cent monthly rental income at the rate of Kshs15 million per year from Ksh10 million. So, landlords who collect Kshs15 million annually and pay rental tax at the rate of 25 percent will ... view
• 18 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: must be subjected to Article 114 of the Constitution. The Committee has already met - not once, not twice or thrice - in consultation with the National Treasury. So, the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and the Committee, in their consultations, are the only ones, in most circumstances, who can bring amendments. Remember that if we bring a fundamental amendment, then the element of public participation will be lost and somebody can go to court and challenge such an amendment. The Finance Bill 2020 proposes to amend the Public Roads Toll Act to enable persons who enter into agreements ... view
• 18 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: For major highways where people can pay some little money like for that kind of road use, we need to have legal framework. The tolling aspect of the PPP in the construction and management of roads and the creation of the fund is an aspect that is contained in this Bill. There is also the flyover from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport all the way to Westlands that will be passing next to Parliament. I am sure it will help a lot of us escape from the traffic jam. All those public-private investments in the road network and tolling require a ... view
