So, on the issue of the chairperson being a judge of the High Court, we are going to consider whether we can include other professions to open it up because tax is beyond the legal framework. The part also says we should have not less than 15 members ... view
• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: encourage hon. Members to read and propose amendments. My committee will also bring some additional amendments to the Bill, so that we make the tribunal a body that Kenyans and the taxpayers will have confidence in, a body that we will have confidence in and to which we will lodge our claim.

• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, is it in order for my friend, Prof. Nyikal, to say that we have accepted corruption in this country? We hate corruption so much that we have spent so much money creating the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission and many other bodies dealing with corruption. This country hates corruption.

It is possible today, and this is very sad, that you start your journey from Kisumu all the way to the City and ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, last week the Chair ruled that if you do not have your card, you should pay Kshs2,000. I do not know whether hon. Shebesh has paid the Kshs2,000. view

• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this is also just to correct a typographical error. We have moved from the Kenya Deposits Protection Fund Board as indicated in the original Act to the Kenya Deposits Corporation. So, this is a typing error. We are, therefore, replacing the word “Board” with the word “Corporation”. view
