Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I have listened to the Mover and the Leader of the Majority Party. I want to join them in supporting this request to exempt KQ from the 1 per cent turnover tax. We are all in agreement that KQ is a strategic investment for this country. It is the Pride of Africa and Kenya. As a country, we have used taxpayers’ money to build this airline so many times. Anytime they make losses, it is the taxpayer who raises resources through taxation. Unfortunately, the more we pump resources to ...

It is on the same note that Members of his House, including ranking Members who have been elected four times, three times, twice and those who have been elected for the first time, have a casual way of doing things in this House, which I do not think is good.

As part of my opening remarks, I want to start by thanking the joint Committee which looked at this Bill and did a very detailed Report. I must confess that I have looked at this Report and it is good. It provides a lot of information which will help in adding value to this important Bill. I want to start by saying that this Bill is not farfetched. It has very progressive proposals, at the same time, there are areas I am not happy with as the Member of Parliament for Kitui Central and as somebody coming from Kitui County. ...
