• 30 May 2017 in National Assembly: It is the same amendment. view
• 30 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairlady. I had just consulted with the Chair and the Vice-Chair of the Committee. It must be an oversight because this was talking about paragraph 42 but the one on diapers is paragraph 39(3). There was a bit of confusion. The Chair can now move the further amendment on paragraph 39. That is the one I was in support of. I have just walked from him after consulting the Vice-Chair and the Chair. view

• 30 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I am one of those people who have seen the menace that has been caused by betting because of lack of regulation in this industry. Since Thursday, I have had extensive discussions with the Chair of the Committee, the Vice-Chair, a number of officers in the Budget Office, the National Treasury and the Leader of the Majority Party who has been my greatest supporter in this endeavour. view

• 30 May 2017 in National Assembly: There are certain issues which have emerged and I think Hon. Makali Mulu is right in asking for a justification. If we pursue the agenda of using taxation to deal with social ills, we will be erring to an extent. The Constitution and Cap. 131 of our own laws give the mandate of levying taxes to the CS, Interior who is also in charge of regulating the betting industry. Extensive work was done by the Committee and I had a chance to see some of the presentations which were done before it by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). I am ... view

• 30 May 2017 in National Assembly: . Makali Mulu let me tell you that the taxation of 12. 5 per cent is on gross revenue and not on net profit and a further 30 per cent as corporate tax is equivalent to almost 60 per cent taxation. Therefore, I would like to urge this House to support the amendments as proposed by the Committee because effectively we will not be killing an industry which is also employing many Kenyans. As a House, we must get the CS, Interior to gazette the regulations which were presented before the Committee to ensure we regulate this industry because if ... view

• 30 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I support it. Let me bring to the attention of the House the fact that the House has been very emphatic in demonising the actions of the Leader of the Majority Party. However, let us also appreciate that were it not for the Leader of the Majority Party, this Motion would not be before the House today. It was the Leader of the Majority Party in consultation with the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade who sought to have this Motion brought back this afternoon. Those of us who are anti-betting would ... view
