However, if you have overpaid and you require a refund, they do not pay you interest. The Committee proposes that it should be two-way.

If the KRA delays for more than two years, then the amount shall start attracting interest at ...

Clause 46 sought to ensure that before the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) Governor makes any major decision, for example, when there is a bank failure, he has to consult the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for the National Treasury. The Committee proposed to delete that provision. It is important to share information on very critical matters of the economy so that you do not wake up one morning and hear that this bank has been closed.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 48 of the Bill be deleted. This clause seeks to increase the capital base for banks progressively from Kshs2 billion in 2017, Kshs3.5 billion in 2018 and Kshs5 billion in 2019.

We should not make it an exclusive club for a few people who have billions of shillings. If Hon. Jakoyo has Kshs200 million, he can set up a small bank in Kisumu which ...

THAT, the Bill be amended by inserting the following new clause immediately after Clause 3− Amendment of 3A. Section 10 of the Income Tax Act is amended by deleting section 10 of Cap paragraph (g). 470. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, last year, this House passed an amendment to remove Withholding Tax on winnings by players from the income tax for non-residents, but left the locals to continue being charged Withholding Tax.
