31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly:
The problem in this country is that ‘baba’ is a good man but even when your wife runs away, you will blame him and so he has to leave. There are many guys in town who will blame ‘ baba’ on anything under the sun. The National Accord which we signed was a good thing because some of us got some small positions. I became the Assistant Minister for Livestock Development. If the National Accord was not there my curriculum vitae today would have a gap that I have never served in Government. But, the National Accord gave me an ...

With those many remarks, this is a negotiated document. Let us debate soberly and finish so that today we can do the Committee of the whole House. Please as you go home tonight choose between whether you want to work with Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka, Hon. William Ruto, Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta, Hon. Raila Odinga or the clans. In between you keep on hopping until the election results are announced. Let us change Kenya and build very strong democratic parties. Let us prepare ourselves to conduct free and fair nominations. We are the players, practitioners and we all come from political parties. ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I oppose the amendment for two reasons. We need your direction. First, that amendment falls within Article 114. The views of the Cabinet Secretary (CS) must have been sought first before bringing the amendment. Hon. Tonui is a Member of the Departmental Committee and he should know better. Secondly, what happens if we waive VAT on a school bus and then the school management decides to sell the same bus to Hon. Duale the following day to start business with The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of ...

it? Let us not open a Pandora’s Box. What happens if I sell the same bus to a public transport SACCCO the following day? This is a money Bill. Therefore, you must make an appropriate ruling. The views of the CS must have been sought before this amendment came to the House. Unless we are told that the PS’s concurrence on the amendment has been obtained, we cannot amend the Bill in this manner.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I think the Chair has made some good clarifications. I want to make it very clear that the inputs used to make sanitary pads are not excisable. They are already enjoying a tax waiver. More fundamentally, what the Chair has raised is very important. You cannot just say “excisable services, inputs or goods.” When he appeared before the Committee he did not show those items. As legislatures, we do not want to make manufacturers become rich. The type of taxation we have done, if you look at the inputs used in the making of sanitary pads ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I would like to indulge all of us. As you said, let us all be very keen. This is the Finance Bill. The Finance Bill is always very unique. I want every Member to listen to this. We consulted and the National Treasury said that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

these items are not excisable. The next thing is to show us the section. There are things that we can pass here and cannot be implemented. If the law is already saying that they are not excisable, what are we removing? Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, you need to come out clearly. You also need to be very audible. You know you are not audible!
