Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. As you are aware, I represent Lang’ata Constituency. It is a densely populated constituency, with about 500,000 people. It is surprising that with that population, we have only 10 primary schools and three secondary schools simply because we have no land.

Land is an issue. I support this Motion because it will give us a solution in terms of having guidelines by the Ministry of Education on what amount of land a school is entitled to. You will be surprised that in Lang’ata we have Government institutions with huge chunks of land but getting space to build a polytechnic, primary school or an additional secondary school because of the pressure of the population, is very difficult.

I support this Motion because it will give us an opportunity. I will quote examples such as Lang’ata Barracks which has a lot of land. It should not be an issue if we have policies that allow Lang’ata Barracks to, for example, just put aside five acres of land to build a secondary school. We have the Prison Service, the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and the University of Nairobi with a huge chunk of land despite the fact that it is already a settled university. I support this Motion because the only way we can have additional public amenities, hospitals ...

The issue of having additional finances to acquire properties on the land is also a good idea. I support this Motion by Hon. Caleb Kositany.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. It is a brilliant Motion considering that we have very many young people who are in the Jua Kali sector. They have been there courtesy of the experience and practice over time. This is a very large number that cannot be ignored. I want to say that there are skills like mechanics, plumbing, masonry, hairdressing and many others that do not require formal education. Very many young people, as my colleagues have stated, have acquired those skills through experience. The mechanics that fix our cars, the ...

centers will help in solving this problem so that those young people can only go for an exam and get tested. If they have the skill, they will be accredited and given the certificates and those certificates will help them in getting employment. You will realise that right now we have so many things happening in our country. We have the Big Four Agenda. One of the pillars of the Big Four Agenda is housing. In Housing, we will need thousands of plumbers, carpenters and electricians. We have a very small number of certified skilled young people. I was just ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I agree with the Chairman. We are talking about the winnings. Around 10,000 people win every day. When some of these people win, they are paid directly through their Mpesa accounts. How then will the betting companies withhold the tax? If it is a requirement of KRA that we have the withholding tax and PIN, then it means the betting companies will not comply with this requirement if we do not make it easy for them to submit this tax.

No, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do not have any intervention. It was by mistake. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I rise to support the Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2018. The intended purpose of the tax laws is to raise more revenue for the Government. It is an aspiration of every government to sustain itself without borrowing. This is a good step in terms of trying to raise the revenue because we have the Big Four Agenda and other projects that need to be done. Just as my colleagues have said, we are also hoping that the revenue that will be collected will equate to service delivery because that is what ...
