• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the Senate is asking for a deletion of the aspect of education and training as a requirement for an applicant as a term and condition in authorising user agreement. There are people who have never gone to school and they are expert traditional herbalists. So, the Senate, in its wisdom, says you do not need to have gone to school for you to be given a license or to sign an agreement. view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the Senate in its wisdom felt that the Cabinet Secretary is empowered to make regulations for effecting the provisions of this Act. So, the Senate is proposing that in exercising this mandate, the CS shall make regulations in consultation with the Council of Governors. Partly, I agree that it does not harm anything that they are asking the CS to make regulations. Of course, when those regulations come to the National Assembly, they will be tabled and the Committee on Delegated Legislation will deal with the matter. I hope they will consult and get the views ... view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it is not about consultations. Before that, the only body that is recognised in law is the Council of Governors (CoG). Parliament or the CS cannot invite all the 47 counties. The views of county governments are carried by the CoG, but we need a further amendment to say “in consultation with the Council of Governors”, not “Council of County Governors.” view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move that the Committee do report to the House its consideration of the Senate Amendments to the Protection of Traditional Knowledge and Cultural Expressions Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 48 of 2015) and its approval thereof without amendments. view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is an important Bill and we should even continue with it in the afternoon. I want to thank Members and the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade for supporting the budgetary process of policies proposed by the Government for achievement of resilient economic growth and development that we have achieved. Our economy grew by 5.6 per cent in 2015, up from 5.3 per cent in 2014. We expect it to grow at 6 per cent this year. Despite the strong macro-economic stability that has been attained by our economy in the recent ... view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Look at what the Bill does to the tourism sector, which is one of the leading sectors that give us foreign exchange earnings. In the recent past, this sector experienced low tourist visits arising from the security challenges and the travel advisories issued by foreign governments. In order to boost the sector, the CS for National Treasury, in consultation with the Government, is proposing in this Bill to exempt from the VAT, national park entry fees and commissions earned by tour operators. This is to make sure that entering parks is cheaper thus making Kenya a cheaper tourist destination so ... view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Regarding the livestock sector, which is a big source of livelihood for many Kenyans, the CS is trying to help farmers increase their earnings from this sector. The sector has been facing high cost of animal feeds. In order to make animal feeds affordable to all farmers in the country, the CS, through this Bill, is proposing to exempt tax from raw materials used in the manufacture of these feeds. This is a big boost to livestock farmers as they will access cheaper animal feeds. view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: One very important thing we did last year was on motor vehicles, whose tax rates were based on the age of the specific motor vehicle. This was introduced through last year’s Finance Bill. The amendment that was introduced in the last Finance Bill turned out to be very unfair.

• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: was not equitable and was very punitive to importers of low cost motor vehicles. It benefited importers of luxurious cars. One of the low cost vehicles is Toyota Probox, which is a vehicle for the poor. It is used by farmers and livestock keepers. It carries people. As small as it is, its capacity inside is huge. It is a vehicle of means for poor Kenyans. I am happy that the minister has proposed in this Bill to remove the specific rate of duty and introduce what they call advalorem rate of 20 per cent based on the value of ... view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support. For some mischievous reasons, someone in the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure decided to leave out the existence of Kenya National Urban Roads Authority. How do we deal with urban cities? I am a Member of Parliament of a constituency in the urban area, and so is Hon. Mulu. There are settlements. Why do you only create highways and rural roads?
