• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Office of the Auditor-General is extremely important to this country. This is because it examines expenditures of ministries, departments and agencies and how funds appropriated by this House are spent. It also points out where funds have been misappropriated and makes recommendations on the action to be taken. So, it is very important for this House and the Committee to have enough time to vet the nominee and ensure we get the right person to do that job. view

• 18 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to say one or two things concerning this Bill. It is a fact that we are passing this Bill in a very difficult situation when the world economy as whole is facing challenges due to coronavirus. But we need to understand some of these proposals are made to expand the tax base. For example, the 1 per cent minimum tax on turnover. On the 1 per cent levy on profits accrued from minerals, it is very obvious that some companies have been operating in this country for the last ... view
• 18 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: think of how to tax those services so that our local companies and the country can benefit. I was doing some calculations in this sector. The transactions are worth around Kshs130 billion per year. If we impose taxation of 14 per cent on these non-resident companies, we can collect Kshs12 billion annually from them. On the issue of zero-rating maize flour, we are in a very difficult situation. In fact, if you go to Country Bus Station, you will see that most of the vehicles which have been ferrying people are now ferrying food commodities from our villages because people ... view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Bill. What I can tell Hon. Kaluma is that removal of PAYE for those earning Kshs24,000 and below will see the country lose Kshs18 billion. On reduction of the rate of PAYE, we will lose Kshs81 billion. On reduction of Corporate Tax, we are going to lose Kshs22 billion. I wanted to make that clarity. The reduction of PAYE and Corporate Tax is supposed to address two things. One, the reduction of PAYE is supposed to address the demand side, so that Kenyans can ... view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: that they can transport goods to the markets. I have seen a proposal to increase fuel prices. This House should reject that proposal because immediately you increase fuel prices, the cost of transport is going to increase. The other thing that we need to watch are the roadblocks, which are scattered everywhere. Those roadblocks actually delay transportation of goods and services. Any tax measures on agricultural or manufacturing inputs will affect production. That is because the cost of production is going to increase. When that happens, producers will pass the cost to consumers. The intended purpose will not be achieved ... view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to add my views and support the Public Service (Values and Principles) (Amendment) Bill by Hon. Andrew Mwadime. We need to understand that in the public service, recruitment is done through various institutions. Among them is the Public Service Commission, whose membership is appointed by higher authorities. Principal Secretaries and Cabinet Secretaries are appointed by higher authorities. Parastatals recruit their staff members through their human resource departments, while the county governments recruit using their respective public service boards. We have to understand that all these appointing authorities ... view
