• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the Value Added Tax (Amendment) Bill be now read a Second Time. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to initiate debate on the Bill before the House. The aim of this Bill is to exempt sugar-cane farmers from paying Value Added Tax (VAT) on the transportation of raw sugar-cane from the outgrower farmers to the processing or milling factories. In the sugar industry, cane harvesting and transport take the bulk of the cost of production of sugar. Those of us from sugar growing areas like my ... view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: transportation are key. Cane is bulky thus making it expensive. It is also weighed and charged in tonnes. The transport is charged in kilometres from the farm to the milling factory. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker--- view
• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, for giving me an opportunity to make my comments on this proposed amendment. I support the proposed amendment by Hon. Nyokabi because it is already captured elsewhere and there is no point for duplication. The point I want to stress is that when we are making law, we must ensure we are cautious so that we make good laws which have no mistakes. I want to encourage Members to be keen when we are undertaking the process of legislation. Thank you. view
• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I was following the previous amendment. The Hon. Chair proposed deletion of the word “Authority” and substitution with the word “Commission”. What is the import? Why do you want this to happen? view
• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: No, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I Just want to be very brief. I want to strengthen Standing Order No.152(3). This House and the framers anticipated there would be instances where you will have some errors or mistakes. So, it gives the Hon. Speaker or Hon. Chairperson the power to make corrections. view
• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Just a small one. I am not sure if the Chair read what is written in this Order Paper. I think there is a mistake which needs to be corrected. The amendment says that Clause 216 of the Bill be amended in Sub-clause (2) by deleting the words “of not less than on hundred---” I do not know if it is only mine that is showing that. view
• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: That should also be corrected, but I support this proposed amendment. view
• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support this amendment and in my thinking there could be various types of related crimes. I am looking at an example of a factory, a kiosk, a small home, a farm house and a big institution. It is good to allow the magistrate discretion so that the fact of the magnitude and mitigation is considered when delivering the final judgment, sentence or conviction. It will allow the magistrate, depending on the seriousness of what the offence is, to give commensurate conviction. I, therefore, support this proposed amendment. view
• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, when you make references to a review in general, it becomes ambiguous. We want to see an appeal or a request to relook at any situation, to be clear to the point. This proposed amendment is quite in order and I support it. view
