• 9 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we promised fish farmers, our youth and dairy farmers that we would zero rate their products. The amendments in the Fourth Schedule is basically to bring the fishing equipment or apparatus into the VAT net. I think this is also a straightforward amendment. view

• 9 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the Mover has not told us the effects that this amendment will have by fixing an effective date for these amendments. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would urge this House not to approve something whose effect we do not know, come 9th November, 2006. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the hon. Member has not even told us what will come into effect on that date. We could be passing a law not knowing its effect come 9th November, 2006. Why this date, in the first place? Unless the hon.

• 9 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if there is an issue on this we will be bringing an amendment to this House. However, like I said, in the absence of knowing what exactly we are referring to, it is very difficult to say we will take it up from today. The provisional tax order is in place.

As I alluded in my Budget Speech earlier this year, our economy has recovered. What is important now is how we drive it forward. But despite the recovery, poverty and unemployment are still a challenge to us as a country. In order to address these challenges substantially, the economy of our country must expand upwards by about 10 per cent as envisaged in our Kenya Vision 2030, November 8, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3515 whose design and development process was launched by His ... view
• 8 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, microfinance business, which basically refers to the provision of financial services to the poor and the small and micro-enterprises, holds an enormous potential to alleviate poverty. Widespread experiences and research have shown that sound microfinance institutions are vital ingredients for economic growth and welfare improvement. The Government recognises that greater access to, and sustainable flow of financial services to the poor and the informal sector is critical to progress in poverty reduction. This Bill has been much anticipated and debated. There have been a lot of stakeholders' expectations and anticipation in developing it. Its primary ... view
