• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: I am saying this relates to an exemption of a benefit which is paid by insurance. What we intended to do was to ensure that, that which benefited employees within an organization should really be exempted from taxation of an employee. If you look at what is proposed in the Bill as it is, it has captured that. It is really an amorphous kind of amendment. What we are trying to cure, which is something that benefits, is already proposed by the original Bill. view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, clause 12 be deleted and replaced with the following new clause – view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: I am saying that Clause 12 of the Bill be deleted and replaced with new Clause 12. In the Constitution, a child is somebody below 18 years. In the Income Tax Act, it is 19 years. So, we want to align it with table two, that is all. view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I want to thank him because he is trying to do something good. But I wish he could read the Act as it is now before he moves that amendment. The Act, which is being amended by this Finance Bill says that if you are in dispute on any assessment of tax, then first you pay 100 per cent. The amendment in the Finance Bill makes it easier for the taxpayer, by saying that instead of paying 100 per cent, you only pay 30 per cent of the amount that is in dispute. If we reject that, then ... view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, it is better to read it out. He said somewhere that the dispute is to be resolved within 90 or 30 days. I think that is where the problem is. It is okay that the payment should be made within 90 days, but it is not for the KRA to determine when the dispute is to be resolved.

• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I want to request my friend, because I have agreed with him almost 90 percent, to withdraw that part which gives the period for resolution of the case. This is because most of the time we cannot go and tell the High Court to determine a case within that period because of many factors. view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, let me agree to the six months period. view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, I want to speak about cattle rustling and so forth. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have been to Turkana, Pokot, northern Kenya and the issue of security is really a serious problem. Therefore, I would want to request hon. Members to be sensitive to regions of this country. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: I support this Motion and I want to say that, in fact, we need to modernize the KPR. There is no harm in somebody becoming a teacher and at the same time a police reservist and that can really save this country. In fact, if we had all teachers in Turkana and Pokot being trained at the same time as policemen, then they can assist this country in terms of security. I want to give an example. If we had police volunteers at Westgate Mall the other day--- If we had bankers inside Westgate Mall, trained as policemen at the ... view
