• 2 May 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I totally agree with Hon. Millie. If there are sections in this Bill we felt they were relevant, it is incumbent upon the Committee to do the ones which have been left out and bring amendments. But, he cannot say that because some other areas have been left out, he will bring another Bill. I think we need to deal with them one by one. If it is felt that local authority does not exist in law because we have county governments, what is the problem with that? We reject your ... view
• 2 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we are not guiding the House. This is a Bill from the drafters of the State Law Office and it went through the Legal Directorate of Parliament. In a statute law, there are certain sections which are very important. What are we dealing with? We are dealing with an offence on gaming and betting where, previously, it was a fine of Kshs5,000 and a term of six months. If there is a fraud that takes place in the course of gaming, it is only saying we increase that to Kshs1 million and three years respectively. We ... view
• 2 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we are not here to defend this industry. The penalty on this was Kshs40,000. Because of what betting is doing to the people of Kenya, the Government said that we substitute it with an expression of Kshs20 million. We are here to defend the people of Kenya. The Committee is not giving us a good reason why we should retain Kshs40,000 as a penalty and not Kshs20 million. The people in the betting industry make billions of shillings every day. The Sportpesa makes billions. So, I totally oppose this proposed amendment. view
• 2 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, let me make it very clear. I agree with Hon. T.J. that we become sober. There is no poor Kenyan who will go and open a betting shop. We know that. Let us be very honest. Opening a betting shop is not like opening a tomato shop. The Government, in this amendment, is saying that for you to get that licence, you must deposit Kshs20 million. That is why this House increased the taxation The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from ... view
• 2 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Millie and I have been here for a long time. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, let us not set a precedent. Tomorrow, Hon. Millie or a Member will bring an amendment to an existing law, then a chair of a committee or the Leader of the Majority Party representing the Government will say that it can be done more comprehensively. We are dealing with a matter as it is on the Order Paper. You cannot talk about doing a comprehensive law. view
• 2 May 2019 in National Assembly: A chair or even I can withdraw a Bill from the Order Paper. So, the Chair is in order and whether his Committee will challenge him later, that is a different issue. But as per procedure, he has the powers to withdraw an amendment. view
• 2 May 2019 in National Assembly: I am not intimidating him, but I want him to know that betting is a very hot issue. It can even cost one his seat. He has to be very careful. It is live on television. Anybody who supports betting and lottery… view
• 2 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, Clause 29A in the Bill states that there shall be a tax to be known as betting tax chargeable at the rate of 35 per cent of the gaming revenue. The Government is trying to delete the expression “thirty five” and substituting it with “fifteen”. I support the Chair. It cannot be 15 per cent. view
• 2 May 2019 in National Assembly: My point of order is that we have already done it in the Finance Bill; the 35 per cent which the President returned with a memorandum. This Bill was published before the Finance Bill. That should be the reasoning. We cannot factor in this now. It will contradict an existing taxation legislation. It is because of the delay because it is supposed to go to the Senate. As we stand here today, the rate is at 35 per cent. So, we cannot reduce it using a miscellaneous process to 15 per cent. In fact, this amendment has been overtaken by ... view
• 2 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it is not the same and I stand to be corrected. In the Bill, it is 36(1)(a)(b), which deletes the existing one in the Act where it appears as “twenty-five” in paragraph (b) and substituting it therefor with the word “five”. Hon. Wanga wants to delete everything. So, the Chairperson is only disagreeing with me in as far as reducing it from 25 to five is concerned. He wants it to be at 25, the way it is in the Act. We need to ask what Hon. Wanga wants to do. The Chairperson is saying that ... view
