• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: “MSC” stands for Mumias Sugar Company. I am reading the Report as it is written and that is why I am insisting on MSC. This is the evidence under Annex (ii) (a) to (h), (iv) (a) and (v) (a). Paragraph 101 is exactly what I have read. Therefore, to just clean up the Report--- I am sure many Members do not have it. For the benefit of those Members who do not have the Report, allow me to read. view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to move my second amendment now that the House has agreed to delete 101. I want to propose a new observation because this is under our observation. That is Chapter 3.3 under paragraph 101 (a). view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: I beg to move:- THAT, the Motion be amended by deleting the full stop at the end and inserting the following words:- “subject to amendment of the Report by: (b) insertion of the following new Paragraphs immediately before Paragraph 102 (Observations of the Committee):- 101A. The key conclusion from investigations on Mumias Sugar Company’s exports was that it was a ploy to defraud the Government of the realizable Value Added Tax (VAT).

• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you realize that I have not signed this Report. The initial observation of the Committee was subsequently removed. That is why I have not signed this Report. This is an observation that was made by the Committee in its earlier Draft Report, but it was subsequently removed from the final Report. I am, therefore, re-introducing the observation in this Report, so that the recommendations I am proposing can make sense. view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I can see the reactions of my colleagues on the Opposition side. This reaction speaks a lot. view

Speaker, I beg to move:- 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

In view of the fact that there is little evidence that Mumias Sugar Company did make any sugar exports to the regional market between 2006 and 2009, the House recommends that:- (i) the Government recovers from the then Managing Director of Mumias Company, Dr. Evans Kidero, the lost VAT revenue amounting to Kshs577 million which it would have realized had ... view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Exports were happening against the policy of the company. The policy of the company demands that no truck shall leave the company carrying more than 560 bags, which translates to 28 metric tonnes of sugar. Because those people were reckless, at one point, they were loading 1,000 bags onto a particular lorry, translating to 50 metric tonnes, which is against the company’s policy and the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) Regulations. They became reckless because they had successfully done it several times. In the Report, there is even a case where one truck carrying 3,360 bags of sugar, each ... view
