• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, let me commend the Committee for proposing increment from 10 per cent to 20 per cent and also thank the Speaker for his guidance in line with Article 114 in declining the proposed amendments by the two Members. As the Speaker said, it was queer for Members of the Committee to propose amendments that were counter to the proposals by the Committee. The Speaker mentioned it. It is not just a fact that the Members were sitting in the Committee, but their proposals were negating what the Committee had proposed. I think, as members of committees, ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Committee. If you have a different opinion, as the Speaker advised, you have every right to present your minority report. Therefore, I support the amendment by the Committee. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, let me thank the Chair and the Committee again for that amendment. Let me also take this opportunity to speak to the Office of the Attorney-General (AG) and those who sit at the national Treasury. The import of some of the proposals that are brought to this House is very suspect. You would wonder why a Government officer would be proposing that the Commissioner-General of KRA be refrained from assessing or recovering penalties on taxes from a segment of business. We must tell public officers when they have business interests in some of those segments. There ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I could not agree more with the Committee and, more so, first, in disagreeing with the National Treasury in terms of the proposals in the Finance Bill. They have listened to the people of Kenya. Secondly, it is a fallacy that banks are not lending to SMEs and individuals because of the interest rate capping. The interest rate capping is just an excuse. The principal reason why the banks are not lending to SMEs and the private sector is Government dependency on borrowing from the domestic market. If we want to fix the problem, ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: It is Ichung’wah and not Ichung’wah. Ichung’wah sounds like an orange and I have no relation with oranges other than eating them the same way we will eat these oranges when the time comes. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Let me raise my reservation also with the proposed amendments. First, the amendments came through the miscellaneous statutes law last year. I remember myself and Hon. John Mbadi, the Leader of the Minority Party, as accountants, raised our reservations on the same amendment 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
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: coming in through such miscellaneous ways. As you know, the Finance Bill is also a sort of miscellaneous amendment Bill. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Therefore, I have had consultations with members of ICPAK, and I urge them and whoever has brought these amendments to bring us a substantive amendment Bill on the Accountants Act. Otherwise, these piecemeal amendments will get things being sneaked in that are counterproductive not just to the young people, but even to people like myself. They are saying that despite my over 20 years of experience, I cannot practice accountancy. Since I became a certified public accountant in 1999 - 20 years ago - I have never joined the institute and I have never seen the benefits of joining it. ... view
• 24 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Even as we consider the Statement by Hon. Nassir, it is important that we be alive to the fact that it is this House that appropriated very huge resources towards the construction of the SGR line. Besides that, it is this House that is appropriating money to repay the loan. We must also be alive to the fact that all the resources needed to repay the loan from China’s Exim Bank must be generated from the SGR. It is okay to argue for the transporters. However, we must also consider the flipside of it in terms of the damage to ... view
• 19 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, on behalf of the Leader of the Majority Party, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said report. I request Hon. Kimunya to second. view
