• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, those will be taken into account. I know that there are some Members of the Committee who are here and who are so passionate about that matter and will be representing us in that discussion when the matters get reconsidered in the Committee. With those few remarks, I beg to reply. view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Yes, Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I fully appreciate the importance of this amendment in terms of first understanding what was agreed last year while Government controls retail prices for fuel and hence there is really nothing much you can do. Whether you make losses or profits, the Government has set the price. On insurance business, what I like to urge the Chair to consider… The reason people went to court was because of a whole group of distributors who sell on behalf of a manufacturer but the minimum tax is being applied on the gross turnover and not ... view

• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: I would like the Chair to bring an amendment. The rationale for bringing the insurance business in is because people in insurance business work on commissions. So, they are brokers and hence if you tax at the level of gross turnover then the person is being paid 3 per cent of that gross turnover; you charge one per cent effectively, they are paying tax at 33 per cent which is the same thing with distributors of fast moving goods who are charged on gross turnover of sales. The income they receive is the commission they receive on the sale. Therefore, ... view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I think the contributions and concurrence from Members is great. I just want to follow from where the Leader of the Minority Leader has left because we are now legislating on this matter. We do not need to wait to put a time scale at when KRA must remit this money. So, I am proposing that the Chair amends her amendment further at number 7(c) for it to read “remit the attached funds to the scheme within 30 days”, so that we have clarity that KRA will receive the money within that The electronic ... view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: period. I know we want to give KRA a lot of time, but once KRA has received that money, they have no business staying with it even a single day. We must remember this is pensioners’ money. So, the earlier it is given to a pensioner, the better. It continues accruing the other interest and all that. If we give them so much latitude, then we will be moving from the defaulting employer and then giving it to KRA to stay with it for another 60 days. It does not make sense. Let us do it as soon as possible ... view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to second and thank the Members. This is one of the best attended Committees. I really want to thank the Members for their participation and the concurrence and the nice debate that has been taking place. I also want to emphasise that today, we have seen bipartisanship in action for the common good of the Kenyan people, especially the people at the grassroots that we all need to protect. I beg to second. view

• 23 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. The Committee prevailed on us because of the urgency of creating the Kenya National Blood Transfusion Service. I want to congratulate them for working on the Bill. The Bill belongs to the Committee. However, they have too many amendments which look like they are almost recreating a Bill. This shows that the Bill was done in a rush. However, we will look at that in the Committee of the whole House. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can ... view
