• 1 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, my point of order is on that amendment. I want to agree with what Hon. Martha has said in terms of the nominee. However, there is something that the Hon. Member for Gilgil mentioned. She said that matters to do with the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act were adhered to by the Committee and that it listened to issues that touched on Hon. Tiyah Galgalo’s tax compliance certificate and others. It is instructive to note that, indeed, the Departmental Committee on Lands canvassed all issues relating to her tax compliance; concluded its report and tabled it before this ... view
• 1 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 1 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I was seeking your guidance because the House, in my view, has two options. It is important for the House to realise that this is the last day that we have, otherwise, all these nominees will be deemed to have been approved by the House, if we go beyond today. Since the Act is quite clear and this being the last day, the House has two options. Since there is evidence that was adduced before the Committee by none other than the Commissioner-General of KRA… We are aware, as Hon. Martha has said, there is a letter that ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the amendment by the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. As I mentioned during the Second Reading, many of these service – If you read the import of that amendment, there was even taxing transportation of goods excluding air transport services. That means even the mkokoteni and donkey people who ferry goods in town using donkey carts, mkokoteni, wheelbarrows and goods carts will be taxed. However, I am happy that the Chair and the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, besides doing away with this tax as ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support the proposed amendment by Hon. Moses Kuria. It is important to note that, as much as we are in the Committee of the whole House, people never participate in the Second Reading and do not read committee reports. The Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning is seated here and Hon. Manje is not a member of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. He clearly never read the Report because if he had, he would know that some of these things were subjected to public participation. I only beg, ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I am really in support of the amendments as proposed by the Chair and the Committee. It is not that I do not want the amendments but, I am rather uncomfortable with Clause 19 (c) as it is on the Bill. It is the one that proposes to include the supply of denatured ethanol in the Second Schedule of the VAT Act. With your guidance, I propose that, once we subject the vote to the proposals done by the Chair, we do it separately for Clause 19 (c). My objection to this one is ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: I propose that we pass those ones without Clause 19 (c). view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: I have said I am very much in support of the Chair’s amendment, save for what is in the Bill on that which I have reservations on. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: The Leader of the Majority Party is quite right that I have no amendment. I must thank you because I am sure you wanted to give me an opportunity to convince Members why we should vote in the negative. This proposal in the Finance Bill speaks to denatured ethanol. The good surgeon here will tell you that it, at times, contains methanol. You remember I came with an amendment in 2015. It was on alcoholic drinks because they use methanol to make illicit brews. By zero-rating it, it means that you will be making industrial ethanol much cheaper for people ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I also support the amendment and, especially, what Hon. Atandi has said. Indeed, in Kenya, we are still at a very low level of taxation on the “sin taxes”. I want to encourage the Chairperson of the Finance Committee and Hon. Atandi, who sits in that Committee, in the next Finance Bill, to increase those taxes. I do not know if this was also in the same amendment on the Excise Duty on betting and gaming. view
