• 14 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, there are some changes on the Value Added Tax (VAT). I believe that the local manufacturers have been looking at an even playing ground, vis-a-vis the foreign counterparts like being fair on medicine that is imported. I know that people have said in many of debate that medicine should become more expensive because of the change from zero rating to exempt status. If the incentives which are being given are to ensure that local manufacturers can be motivated by being put on the same level playfield with the foreigners. Then it can only be better for this country, ... view
• 14 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: From the Report, it is very clear that there were a lot of consultations. I can see Klynveld Peat Marwick Goerdeler (KPMG) which is one of the auditors, Kenya Oil and Gas Organisation, Association of Gaming Operators of Kenya and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC). These are people within the accounting world which is my world. There is also Kenya Wildlife Conservancies Association, Kenya Association of Manufacturers, Institute of Surveyors, Agro- chemical Association of Kenya, Kipkenda and Company Associates, and Betting Control and Licensing Board.

• 14 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I know that it is a very important Bill. It is only a very small component of tax that needs to be brought in. I know that the Committee at some point will bring in some of the amendments that they agreed on.

• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: We have a crisis in this country. We are talking of the Big Four Agenda, free day secondary education but yet parents pay for it. We do not have teachers. Education is the biggest enabler to the Big Four Agenda. We have 22,000 teachers who are included within the Estimates but no money was allocated. Whether that was by mistake or design, it is something that needs to be corrected. If we do not have those teachers, then the rest of the Budget will not make sense. view
