• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I have also looked at this Bill and I am happy to note that the Tax Appeals Tribunal shall have a membership consisting of a chairperson and not less than 15 other members who shall, subject to the Act, be appointed by the Cabinet. However, the chairperson shall be a person who is competent enough to be appointed as a judge of the High Court. I am also happy to note that the membership of the Tribunal will also be improved by membership from the judicial and legal profession. At least, five of those members will have legal ... view
• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: certainty that those are the tax expectations that will follow you if you engage in any one business or if you wish to act for any person in regard to a tax matter. They have provided for the appointment of tax agents so that we are developing professionalism in matters of tax. So, for that reason, I am happy because we have, for a long time in this country, not had a special profession that deals with tax. Some of our young men and women who are taking university degrees in economics will have an opportunity now to specifically deal ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education, Science and Technology concerning the serious shortfall of teachers in the country. Notwithstanding the serious teacher shortfall in the country, various counties have been allocated very few numbers in the ongoing teacher recruitment exercise. Hon.

• 18 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to contribute on these proposed amendments which I support. Any lawyer who has practised in the courts in this country knows that one of the saddest things has been when a person walks into your office and tells you that he had deposited his funds in one of the banks that had unfortunately gone under. You look at the law and try to find a solution for such a person. We know and we have known that the greatest amount that you can recover irrespective of what the deposits are ... view
• 18 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I would like to support this Bill further because we need to encourage our people to keep money in these institutions. People will only keep their money in these institutions and leave it there if they are sure that they will wake up tomorrow and find it. Even if these institutions collapse, they will have backups through which they will recover some substantial amounts from their investments. Because of these reasons and without belabouring the point, I thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I support these amendments. view
• 18 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to speak to this Motion. This is a good Motion. Our people have for a long time been suffering from injury and deaths that have been occassioned by our wildlife, yet as a nation, we consider wildlife as one of the crown jewels in our economy. We all are aware of the importance we attach to our wildlife. We know the contribution of wildlife to our economy. We all are aware that the tourism industry derives a huge boost from our wildlife. view
• 18 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: We must, therefore, look at these people who live at close proximity with our wildlife and make sure that they feel that the wildlife is also important to them and they have, therefore, a role to take care of it. It is a good thing that the substantive Bill is coming up, so that we can fully debate this and come up with a system and a scale on which we shall compensate our people who suffer from the wildlife conflict and the activities that our people carry along the corridors that interface with our wildlife santuaries. We should not ... view
