• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I want to confirm for the benefit of the House so that we do not delete them from the First Schedule and they are not in the zero-rated schedule. It will mean that they are Vatable. I want to make sure they qualify. view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Kipipiri, JP): Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair, I may have missed it, but in the original Bill, there was deletion of Paragraphs 7 and 8, which we need to dispose of before we go to the amendment to Paragraph 11. In Part (aa), we have covered Paragraphs 11, 13, 15, 16 and Part C. Within the original Bill, there was deletion of Paragraphs 7, 8, 14 and 17, which have not been amended by the Committee. We need to make sure those become part of the Bill. view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I know this matter can be emotive, but I want to ask that we understand what the issue is all about. I rise to support the amendments proposed by the Committee and I will tell you why. Members may recall that the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill No.2 was tabled here. It contains these amendments. You may also recall that the Speaker directed that the amendments that relate to tax be taken to the tax committee to debate and incorporate within the Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill and bring them to this House. First of all, let us note any one ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: companies are registered in Kenya that they pay the 35 per cent. For people doing all those other forms of betting but registered out there, we are not getting any income. We will be getting that income when the punter receives his winnings which are 20 per cent. All others are paid 15 per cent. The Government gets 35 per cent in total. So, there is no loss in income. I can guarantee you that we will get more income. Most importantly, I want to exonerate the Committee from any feeling that, perhaps, they sat and decided to change the ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: (Kipipiri, JP) Off-record. view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you. I support this Motion by the Committee. At the outset, I commend the Committee for a very comprehensive Report and more so in the manner that they have focused on the issues. They have not taken it upon themselves to apportion blame but identify the issues and further delve into matters affecting the agencies set for this purpose. view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I am very happy with the whole flow of this Report. I agree that we need the Director of Criminal Investigation to look deeper into some of these issues. I want to take cue from what Hon. Nyoro has said. We went to Bomas of Kenya as part of the process of creating the new Constitution. As a result of the land grabbing which took place in the 1990s there was the formulation of the Njonjo Land Commission and Ndung’u Land Commission. One of the things which came up is that the duties of the then Commissioner of Lands were ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: They will never be realised because one acre of land will be costing Kshs239 million. How many houses can you put on that to be able to sell to poor Kenyans? So, it is something that we need action at the highest level in terms of reining in on the officers who were involved in this as the DCI and other agencies also look into this matter. Coming to the recommendations, obviously, I am very happy that the Committee has tried to assign various responsibilities. There is only one or two, specifically the EACC, for all its failings and ills. ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: As I close, I want to restate what I said before that yes, we got a new Constitution and we all said we are happy. We created all these independent commissions on the understanding that they were going to help remove the excesses of the Executive. However, the proliferation has not brought value to the Kenyan people and it is important that we now relook at them because they are independent but some of them seem to appear to say they are not answerable to anyone. If they have to become relevant into the future, then we need to see ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: We all support the fight against corruption by the President and the Executive and we would like to see recovery of some of these monies that have disappeared. If they could come back, perhaps, it could give some faith that in fact this talk about fighting corruption is not just fighting at the low level. Where if somebody disappears with Kshs1.5 billion and he is still claiming Kshs1.8 billion and he has not given titles for Kshs4.7 billion, we actually determine that no public funds will be lost through fictitious or inflated payments because of people colluding to take public ... view
