• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: The matter that the Hon. Member for Kikuyu was raising is also very important. Article 210 of the Constitution states thus: “No tax or licensing fee may be imposed, waived or varied except as provided by legislation.” The question that I am asking is: Before the Cabinet Secretary (CS) gives a gazette notice waving duty; he should have come back to the House to get the concurrence of this House. view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Secondly, Section 104 of the East African Custom Management Act, which the CS is citing in the Gazette Notice, talks about the CS to consult his colleagues form the Ministry of Finance within East Africa. Those are the issues we want his Committee to find out. They should ask C.S. Rotich if he consulted, again, when waving taxation for relief. My constituency was a victim of drought, but they never received free sugar. They were buying sugar at a very expensive price. So, were we giving barons tax relief? Our committees can work together - the Finance and National Planning ... view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: This matter should not be handled in-camera. It should be in the public domain. We want to know the directors of those over 50 companies whose names have been tabled. Let me confess that there are a number of Members of Parliament who were calling my office toady looking for the list. I told them that I would only table this list in the House. It is a public document right now. They can find out which these companies are and who the directors are. People were asking me whether I could give them the list. I said that I ... view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as I second, I did not have an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. We send resources to county governments year in, year out under the Division of Revenue Bill. I want to thank the Senate for preparing the County Allocation of Revenue Bill and ask them to study the Auditor-General’s Report. They should put governors to account and I hope they will also accept to undergo a lifestyle audit. I saw the Deputy President saying he will be number one. I also want to lead this house in undergoing a lifestyle audit. There is a blogger called ... view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to support this Bill. The Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and Planning will table the Report. He was in the House on Thursday last week, but he was with the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee receiving the CS for the National Treasury to come and read the Budget Statement. I am sure today he will give the House the views of the stakeholders. view

• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: and amend the Value Added Tax, 2013, in order to move some categories of items listed in the schedule to the Bill from zero rated to tax exempt in order to limit zero rating to exports. I have read the Report of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. The Committee has disagreed with the CS on that matter. The Chair will give the reasons because he is the one who had contact with the stakeholders. The proposed amendments to the Income Tax Act seek to introduce withholding tax on winnings from betting and gaming at a rate of ... view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: in the House. The Finance Bill and the Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill are very much related. Before we introduce the Finance Bill, 2018, the House is under obligation to complete the Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill. I am sure the Chair is ready with the amendments so that on Tuesday or Wednesday next week, we can complete this Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill, which carries some of the amendments that are geared to support the President in the Big Four Agenda of access to healthcare, housing, food security and manufacturing. I support the Bill. view
