• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: You know it is only you who can protect me, not the Leader of the Minority Party who is telling me that I am seated in the wrong place. There is no right place and wrong place. I can even sit where you are. I was saying, in the interest of time, I see time and the House having defeated the New Clause 59A and the others consequential to 59A, it will be a waste of the taxpayer’s time to even purport to be moving the other but let me express my disgust that the House has refused. I only ... view
• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: As I finish, I want to say that it has nothing to do with the three Arms of Government; it has everything to do with interdependence and oversight which is our role as people who are charged with the responsibility of oversight. With that, thank you for also protecting me from many of these people who are heckling with no substance. view
• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Yes. I indicated that it is the New Section 65A that I beg to withdraw. view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I was dejected because I had intended to delete the entire clause on Thin Capitalisation. As we have heard from the Chair, basically, the Thin Capitalisation she has talked about is in relation to banks and financial institution that make money from interest income. Even in the midst of this pandemic, it is only banks and financial institutions that are making a lot of money, profits in billions. I had also other amendments, but related to taxation of the interest income. Banks are minting billions from very vulnerable and poor Kenyans. I would have ... view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support. I want to encourage the Chairperson that in the next Finance Bill to vary this provision a bit. Two billion shillings in Kikuyu is not equivalent to two billion shillings in Moiben Constituency where Hon. Tiren comes from.It is because of the proximity of Kikuyu to Nairobi. We may need to have it in a varying format in the next Finance Bill such that even if you were to set up a factory in say, Marmanet Forest for Ksh1 billion…You should encourage people to go and set up factories there. ... view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Isinya, Moiben and Kisii where Hon. Jimmy Angwenyi comes from. It is a good thing to do and the right way to go. That is how to grow cities and urbanize other places outside Nairobi and its environs. view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: The honourable lady said I seem to have come to back to my senses. Is she in anyway insinuating that I was not in my right senses? She must withdraw and apologise. view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am also a stickler to procedure. In the one that we have just passed, that is, New Clause 4A, if you read Sub- section (3A) it says: “any amount that is paid out of the trust income on behalf of any beneficiary and is used exclusively for the purpose of education, medical treatment or early adulthood housing.” I need to get the clarification from the Chair of the Committee. I see she has moved. Does it relate to early… view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: That is why I am saying, I was excusing myself because I knew we had already passed that. I tried to catch your eye because I was seated at your right. view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I was rising to oppose but I got some guidance on it. Let me just say for the record that I want to agree with what the former Chair of the Committee on Finance and National Planning, Hon. Limo, is saying. On this minimum tax business and you know this matter is still in court, I raised my objections last year during the Finance Bill and I still maintain that this minimum tax is not good for business and is not good for this country. We are now exempting people who are in retail business and ... view
