• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this is one of the most important amendments of the evening. Owing to the heavy burden that Kenyans are facing currently, if we add to the taxes they are already paying, we will be harming them greatly. So, I would like to thank Hon. Junet for proposing that we postpone this overtaxing of Kenyans. I support. view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, exporting copper wires is illegal. Why do you say that you can export them now but then we will charge you? It is illegal. By putting this in the law, you are regularising an illegality. I support the amendment and Chair of the Committee. 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. view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, in the Order Paper, I see that Hon. Tonui has an amendment to delete Clause 68. Why is he not moving that amendment? view
• 28 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would also like to add my voice to congratulate you very much for this very prestigious position that you have now taken up. However, I would like to also note that it has not come easy. I noted, in the last Parliament, the amount of work you put in to ensure that CPA Africa stood to where it is currently. In fact, there was a time you even threatened that if the CPA World will not listen, Africa will pull out. So, it has not been an easy path but we as a Parliament of ... view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. The only small challenge I have is the issue of the period within which one should notify a chair. Sometimes one comes from the constituency or county and realises there is a pressing matter. Members deal with many things. Even to introduce an amendment to a Bill on the Floor of this House, the notice is two hours before. Just considering how busy Members sometimes are, 24 hours is almost punitive. Thank you. view
• 9 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that the Motion be amended by inserting the following words immediately after the figure ‘2018’– "Subject to insertion of the following new recommendations- (a) That Recommendation No.5.5 on Page 60 of the Report be deleted and substituted with the following new recommendation- 5.5 The Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury should be held responsible for the excess importation of sugar into the country and consequent tax evasion based on the Gazette Notice No.4536, Gazette Notice No.9801, Gazette Notice No.9802 and Gazette Notice No.10149. (b) That Recommendation No.5.6 on Page 60 of the Report be ... view
• 9 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: 5.11 The then Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Trade, Industry and Co-operatives under whose docket KEBS falls should be held responsible for failure to undertake adequate market surveillance to guarantee the safety and quality of sugar in the country. (d) That Recommendation No.5.16 on Page 62 be amended by inserting the following new sub- paragraph (c)- (c) that the owners of the sugar whose samples were tested and found to contain traces of mercury with references; Moi Base, Eastleigh Ref:F/MISC/267/17-18 and Webuye West, Bungoma Ref: F/MISC/270/17-18, including owners of Diamond Wholesalers and Paleah Stores mentioned in Paragraph 5.15 be held responsible. ... view
• 9 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: “Relevant investigative agencies should investigate the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury to ascertain the circumstances under which Gazette Notices as listed there, were issued leading to importation of excess sugar”. view
• 9 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: The intention of my amendment is to tighten this further. The basis of this amendment is the observation within the Report on Page 55 and 56, which reads observation No.4.20. The Gazzette Notice 4536 failed to give guidelines on the quantity and type of sugar that was to be imported whereas the importation of milk powder was specified in Paragraph (b) of the same Gazette Notice. We specified the importation of milk, but we refused to specify the importation of sugar. The Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury opened up the otherwise well- regulated sugar importation process to abuse by ... view
• 9 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: sugar industry, then, tell me what it was. This is the reason I am saying that there is nothing more to be investigated. The CS should be held responsible. That is the gist of that amendment. I move to the next amendment, which has the same gist, but relates to the then CS for Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. While the CS tried to advise the CS for the National Treasury, in a note that I have, in terms of limiting the amount and type of sugar and who could import sugar, later on, in a letter annexed to this Report ... view
