• 30 May 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, is it in order for the Leader of the Majority Party to engage in irrelevancies outside the issues we are discussing?

• 30 May 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I want to thank the Members who have contributed. There is a lot of confusion here. We need regulations to regulate the sector. That is what is lacking. In fact, our proposal, as a Committee, is that the Cabinet Secretary, (CS) National Treasury, the CS, Interior and Coordination of National Government and the sector should sit together with the stakeholders and come up with regulations that will cure some of the ills the Members are talking about.

• 30 May 2017 in National Assembly: So, I strongly encourage that the CSs that I have mentioned and the sector should sit, and hopefully in the coming Parliament, we do a new law on betting and lottery. view

• 30 May 2017 in National Assembly: Having said that, I also wish to clarify that it is not that currently these companies are not paying taxes. In fact, if we are taxing them at the rate of 7.5 per cent on gross, that is like 20 per cent on net plus what they are already paying which is the normal corporate tax at the rate of 30 per cent. So, effectively, if you look at the amount they are paying, they are paying almost 50 per cent, as we speak today. So, we are only saying that let us uphold the status quo and give more ... view

So, we cannot bring 6 per cent today, after six months, we bring it to 30 per cent and after another six months to 50 per cent.
