• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I am sorry I am using my earlier Order Paper. I now have the Supplementary Order Paper. view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I am proposing to move amendment to Clause 27 but I am dropping the following paragraphs of the same; that is paragraph 89 on page 2007. I have already talked about the national carrier. We dropped the others. I am proposing that we drop the VAT. I also wish to move a further amendment. view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am dropping paragraph 89. view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I am dropping paragraph 89, which relates to VAT on taxable supplies. view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Paragraph 89 is on exemption of VAT on taxable supplies to the national carrier. It is already enjoying many other exemptions and it must contribute to the national economy despite all the other challenges. Hon. Nyikal is aware that we gave the national carrier Kshs20 billion to boost its capital and it must also contribute to the national economy. I am dropping the paragraph. It will not be part of what we are voting for. view
• 30 Aug 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
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Secondly, I want to move a further amendment to paragraph (b)(iii), where it is written “25. The brokerage services of tour operators, excluding in-house supplies”. I wish to delete the word “brokerage.” It was a mistake because they are not brokers but they provide services as tour operators. This is typo error. view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to delete the word “brokerage” so that what remains is “the services of tour operators.” Let me now move to explain the import of the proposed amendments. view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, all these proposals are for VAT exemptions. We received a lot of submissions on the cost of inputs for animal feeds which has gone up because of the VAT. We proposed and agreed with the National Treasury that we need to exempt all the inputs for the manufacture of animal feeds. Therefore, the amendment seeks to exempt the inputs for the manufacture of animal feeds from VAT so that farmers can benefit. view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The other major one addresses Hon. Mule’s earlier concerns. Before that, we received submissions on the manufacture of cooking stoves which are used by people in rural areas. The Committee agreed that we need to exempt from VAT the raw materials for the manufacture of “cook” stoves to encourage local people to enjoy the benefit of using them as opposed to cooking with firewood, which is destroying our environment. We accepted that we need to exempt VAT on the raw materials for manufacturing “cook” stoves under Clause 27(a)(v). view
