• 7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise on the same point of order and I would like to draw your attention to Section 35 of the Constitution which gives all Kenyans the express right to information held by the State. I would also like to draw your attention to Standing Order No.41(2) which states as follows:- “A Question shall be of a genuinely interrogative character and its purpose shall be limited to seeking information or pressing for action.” On pressing for action, when a Question is delayed and the intention of the hon. Member was that he presses for action; ... view

• 7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if at all you find merit in what I have said about Article 35 of the Constitution and Standing Order No.41(2), I beg that you find that the Front Bench is completely out of order and you take action against the Leader of Government Business in this House, because it is him who is perpetuating this particular bad behavior. view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Finance the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that Ms. Kingsway Tyres and Automart Limited, PIN P000609825C and VAT NO. 0021199L owes a whooping Kshs2,639,210,836.00 and Kshs270,074,978.00 as tax arrears in form of uncollected Income Tax and VAT respectively as of 30th April, 2012? (b) What is the reason for the failure by Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to collect those taxes? (c) What is the Minister doing to ensure that money is collected with immediate effect? view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to dispute the Minister’s reasons for failure to collect tax. He has given two reasons. The first one is a matter that was decided by a court, and the second one is lack of funds. I have proof here - which I now want to table - which shows that the matter which was in court was brought before the court on 18th October, 2011. To the extent of the obstacle which had been put by the company not to have the tax collected by KRA, Justice Wendo decided on 16th May, 2007 that the ... view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: The second issue is about the lack of funds. I would like hon. Members to know that the company we are talking about is associated with, amongst other businesses, the Nakumatt chain of stores. They trade in tyres and they are also associated with the closed down Charterhouse Bank. What they did was that they changed their name--- view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In fact, I was doing my last paragraph so that I then ask the question. Mr. Speaker, Sir, they changed the name as the Minister has conceded. After that, it was the same company, the same LR. number, the same business and the same directors. So there was no reason why he would not collect taxes from the new company. Now that I have made this revelation to him through documents which I am now tabling, when will the Minister move so that all the monies held in the account of the residual company can ... view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when this matter arose, Mr. Mumo Matemu was the Commissioner for Support Services, which is the legal arm of KRA. Mr. John Njiraini was the Commissioner for Large Tax Office. Mr. Waweru was the Commissioner-General. Mr. Njiraini is now the Commissioner-General and Mr. Mumo Matemu has become the guru of fighting corruption, the fact that he was forced upon Kenyans notwithstanding. What are the directions from the Minister to the Director of CID to ensure that these directors who are known to have evaded tax are arrested today, arraigned in court and charged with tax evasion? What ... view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to mislead the House that Mr. Mumo Matemu is in office when we know that he has been stopped from going to the office due to a court process that is ongoing at Nakuru Law Courts? view
