As I conclude, tax returns--- I know it is said and I like that because they are saying when you find you are not able to pay your taxes on time for some reason, maybe you have had family problems or business problems, or business has been very low and there is a standard way; maybe you declared Kshs20 million last year and this year you are declaring another Kshs20 million; you will find that you have time extension. The extension of time required to submit taxes should be very specific. The Bill does not say how much time is ...

Lastly and not least, self-assessment is another issue. If I have been so good and I have assessed my business--- This comes out very well. Self-assessment is accepted. But at the same time when I do self-assessment and find that I have under-declared or over-declared, the CG should assist me. It is not explicit here as well. I may be a very good tax person but I know I have been doing some businesses for some time, and when you submit and find that you have not done the right thing, again you should negotiate instead of being punitive. It ...

comes to Part VII they will give extension, and you will want to pay. It looks like you are punished for not paying within that time. That again is not being friendly as I said. Taxes must be paid in a friendly way and we must be induced to pay taxes, so that our country can develop.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. I want to thank Hon. Duale for bringing it up. It is something that we have been looking forward to. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in Kiswahili they say “ Mwacha mila ni mtumwa ”, meaning somebody who leaves his culture is a slave to anything. I want to agree with what every other speaker has said. First and foremost, I want to reckon that African culture was and is still very rich. Last year, I travelled to the far East and I ...

mix it up with cassava in a special way, so that you enjoy eating it. That is something that we should preserve. It is so cultural and was done very well. When my daughter makes a meal in my house, I never enjoy it. I would rather my wife does it because she does it the way it is supposed to be done because she was taught by her mother. We are losing a side of this. Those of you who have eaten millet and wimbi foods find that it is very rough unless it is mixed with cassava. Ladies ...
