• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: This section is dealing with the export levy rates on the semi-processed hides and skins. This country exports manufactured goods. If we were to put export levies on processed items, we will not be competitive as a country and our manufactures will not see outside the country and we will kill the industrialization process. The deletion of all export levies on semi-processed hides and skins will encourage value addition in the hides and skins sector. Therefore, my Committee proposes that we remove those export levies and encourage our manufactures to be competitive and have the spirit of value addition. view

• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the amendment. We are currently trying to attract manufacturers and investors into this country. If we allow more private investors to invest in industrial parks, we will encourage more manufacturers and all to do business with ease. Having an industrial park encourages the ease of doing business in a country. That is because investors will find ready land and infrastructure. This is a very good amendment. I do not know why he talks about outside Nairobi and Mombasa. It would have been better if it was just the whole country, including Mombasa and Nairobi. ... view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I know that we discussed his amendments in the Committee, but that was an informal arrangement. Usually, all the amendments are submitted to the Clerk of the National Assembly and then they are processed in the manner provided for in the Standing Orders. I may not be able to answer him but, of course, I am aware that we discussed his proposed amendments. Regarding some of them, I told him to come and file them in the House. I do not know whether he submitted them through the right channel. view

• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, do not allow the Hon. Member to sabotage what we are about to do. The Order Paper is published five hours before the sitting. The Member had all the time from when the first Order Paper was published up to the time the Supplementary Order Paper was published, which is supposed to be one hour to the sitting. For the Member to rise, when we are seated in the Committee of the whole House, and try to say that we should not proceed, is not fair. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I rose earlier on and said that the Member appeared before my Committee. I informed him in the Committee that he did not need to come to my Committee because he was supposed to prosecute his amendments on the Floor of the House. The Order Paper was published early enough. The hon. Member should have sorted out this matter before the stage we are in right now. view

• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I oppose this amendment. It is good for the Member to know the functions of CoB and where they start to take effect. The CoB is supposed to authorise withdrawals after Parliament has passed the estimates and the Appropriation Bill. That is when the CoB should start their operations. If we were to go this direction, we are telling the CoB that he or she must make comments in the budget-making process. view
