25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly:
They were not in tandem with the law; that is, Article 114 of the Constitution. Read the way Hon. Moses Kuria does. He researches. He is also a member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I support the amendment. Maybe one day, say, in 50 years to come, he might become the president and exercise that power.

I support this even though I am not a music person. This year, there was a national music festival and the talent which was shown made the Government make those items tax-exempt with the recommendation of the Cabinet Secretary, so that other busy-bodies do not abuse it. One thing that the Deputy Speaker did not say is that he attended that function courtesy of my intervention. Many people have not done it here. He rode in the Presidential Air Force One to Nakuru and back. Those of you who want to know how it feels can consult the Deputy Speaker ...

I understand what Hon. Ichung’wah is saying. I agree with him in whatever he wants to do. However, let us be very careful how we put the Question. That is my main issue.

Procedurally, he has no amendment. The only thing you can do is to put the Question to that paragraph. He cannot contribute.

He is a consumer. He does not want his clients and friends to see. This is why I like the Chairperson of the Finance Committee. We must reduce drunkards and smokers in this country. To do that, we must increase taxation. Chairperson, for the budget to balance, we must find a way. As we build mosques and churches, our competitors, most of the time, go to the bars. So, now that we have increased taxation, they will not go to the bars; they will join us in church and the mosque. So, I support.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I neither go to the bar nor drink. I am a Muslim. So, anybody who goes to the bar is my competitor – anybody in Kenya, but our political competitors are known. So, because I believe in charity, Chairperson, you have done well. People must leave bars; they must stop smoking. When you go to town, you will see a cage with people who do not know each other. They will sit there and their business is always to smoke. They do not belong to the same company. They do not know each other. So, for ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to do a correction. There are people who drink and go to church, but for Muslims, if you go to the bar, you have left us.

I do not see why people should harass Hon. Atandi. He has free thought and free speech. I think the Commissioner is being refrained from assessing or recovering penalties for a particular sector, and this time companies that are listed in the growth segment. This is animal farm-like in terms of taxation. In fact, we should be told who those companies are. Are they foreign? Are they local? Who are the shareholders? The Commissioner-General of KRA or the Commissioner of Customs or the Commissioner of Domestic Taxes or the Commissioner of Large Taxpayers have powers given to them by this ...

So, I agree with the Chair that if it is about paying taxes, there should be no sacred cows.
