• 30 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Another thing that I would also want to point out is that this Bill seeks to avoid distortions and possible leakages in revenue collection. The refund period has been reduced from 12 months to three months: That is a welcome move as well as computerizing or applying IT in terms of revenue collection. However, I would observe that before the proposed amendments - and that is the Bill that we are debating - there is the Report of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. But it is important to acknowledge and appreciate that the Bill we are talking ... view
• 30 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I know I had 10 minutes. This is why I was complaining that sometimes you need to give us more time and people should choose which Motions their input will be needed most. That way, we will not have everybody speaking to some of these things. view
• 30 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Cabinet Secretary may amend the rate of taxation. That is an amendment that should come. It should not be deferred for further consideration. We should not allow the Cabinet Secretary to amend the rate of VAT. He can amend the rate of Excise Duty, but not VAT. I do not understand the rationale behind this. The Government needs to support the poor and not hurt them. It is good that the Committee has thought positively of bringing amendments. I too will bring more amendments. I hope hon. Langat, the Chairman of the Committee, will support ... view
• 30 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, is it in order for the Member for Kandara, who is a very good friend of mine, to claim that CORD is not here yet when you see hon. Mbadi, you see real CORD? Is she also in order to claim that this Bill would have been passed without these amendments when we are at the Second Reading stage, and knowing that amendments come up during the Committee Stage? view
• 25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. I know this is an old tradition. However, Hon. Shebesh rose on Standing Order No.44(2)(c) which says:- “A Member may request for a Statement from the Committee Chairperson relating to matters under the mandate of the Committee and the Speaker may either appoint a day for the Statement or direct that the Statement be issued on the same day.” The reason why statements, before they are asked in the House, go through the Speaker’s Office is for them to be approved. When you allow other Members to rise in the House and ... view
• 25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I have two clarifications that I would like to get from the Leader of Majority Party. First of all, let me thank him for giving a well articulated response to this issue even though I would urge the Leader of Majority Party that he should know that when you are given titles you should live above the rest of us. So, I would request the Leader of Majority Party and even the Leader of Minority Party that next time they rise to speak in this House, they should promote reconciliation in this House. It is ... view
• 25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to seek two clarifications. The first one is with regard to the Kshs6 billion. I know that this was a promise when His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta was campaigning. He promised that should we not go for a runoff or a second election this money will be available to both the youth and women of this country. To my recollection, this Kshs6 billion is provided in 2013/2014 Financial Year Budget. If that is the case therefore, then the President has not lived to his promise because he promised that this money was to come from ... view
• 25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, number two, many a times when we hear of capacity building in this country it takes up the better chunk of the amount allocated. We would want to know how much is budgeted for capacity building to restrict it to bare minimum and who is going to conduct this capacity building. We would not want to see those masquerading as consultants and professionals and yet they are busy wheeler dealers who are going to take money meant for giving capacity to our women and youth. view
