As I support this Bill, I thank Hon. Nyokabi once again. As Hon. Maanzo said, we need to propose amendments to have the information given freely to the public. The programmes that are being done by counties should also be easily accessible to all constituents. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and the Mover for giving me this chance. I just want to reiterate the importance of this Bill in ensuring that there is consistency and efficiency in the administration and tax laws and also ensuring effective and efficient collection of tax. With this in mind, I am thinking about the county governments that are currently collecting revenue. This revenue is a lot and it should be brought back to the national level so that it is channeled back to other projects that are important in the country. Most of this revenue that is collected ...

Of importance is also the awareness which needs to be created. Most women applying to register companies to get 30 per cent of Government tenders come to KRA to get their Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) and the tax compliance certificates and then they are told that they have arrears which they have not paid. We need a lot of awareness to be created so that people can understand the importance of the annual tax returns that are done so that they can avoid such issues. Some of them find they have huge bills that they did not know about.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Bill but I have quite a number of amendments. Personally, I have worked in the health sector for very many years, and have a lot of experience when it comes to health records and how important they are. We all understand the usefulness of medical records and having accurate information, especially when it comes to medical procedures on patients. When it comes to issues of next of kin, which normally cause a lot of uproar when a patient dies, that is also an issue of medical records. I have ...

perhaps at diploma or higher level. The records they handle are very confidential, and they need to be trained on issues of confidentiality so that patient’s information is kept very well. I am happy that Hon. Nyokabi has brought up the issue of access to information but that is a different Bill. Some of her issues will be tackled in this Bill. I support this Bill; we are going to work with the necessary committees to ensure that we bring quite a number of amendments, so that if created, the board does not work as a stand-alone, but works with ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to this very important Bill. At the outset, I want to thank Hon. Sakaja for having been in the forefront for the youth of this country. I want to support this Bill for the following reasons: One, that the Authority is going to have the creation of a database which is very important. It will be used nationally. So, the counties will also be able to see the number of youth who are not employed in their counties. It is important that this Bill has come at ...

I am a specialist in Human Resource. It is very sad that when most of the youths come for interviews, as most of our Members have said, they do not know how to dress and to reply to questions like: “Tell us about yourself. What are your weaknesses?” They give you all sorts of stories. So, I am happy that this Authority will train our youth so that when they come for interviews, they will be prepared so that they will get jobs. Our youths have very good papers and they are very innovative. However, they perform very poorly in ...

It is also important as Hon. Mbadi said that this Authority will not bring this issue of ethnicity. I pray that one day this country will remove that ethnicity thing in all our documents. If we put ethnicity now on this Authority when somebody is putting their database, it might bring us issues and we will not be happy when we have such things on the database. Let our youth put their names, their county and all other things but Hon. Sakaja, I do not see how ethnicity is going to help us move on with employment for our youth.
