• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended in Clause 22 by deleting Paragraph (b) and substituting therefore the following new paragraph: (b) In Paragraph 1 of Part A by inserting the following items immediately after item 19: 20. The transportation of goods originating from Kenya to a place outside Kenya. 21. Transportation of sugarcane from farms to milling factories. 22. The supply of maize (corn) flour, cassava flour, wheat or meslin flour and maize flour containing cassava flour by more than ten per-cent in weight. That is the big issue of ordinary ... view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, you must protect me because there are so many people hustling behind me. view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: The other item to be added there is the transportation of goods originating from Kenya to a place outside Kenya. What happened is that we carried an amendment earlier that is removing exportation of taxable services from the zero-rated list. So, what we are trying to do is to save the transportation industry because our trucks are transporting mainly within the region. If you tax them, they become uncompetitive. People will just set base in Tanzania and bring trucks here and go back and you lose revenue completely. So, we are also looking at transportation of goods originating from Kenya ... view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Item 21 is on transportation of sugarcane from farms to milling factories. This is to protect sugarcane farmers. This is an industry that is on its knees. If the cost of transport is too high, then it becomes a problem. I was telling someone that any English that I am speaking here is from sugarcane because my grandfather was a sugarcane farmer. My father was a sugarcane farmer. He was first a sugarcane farmer before he was a politician and the thing he fell back to when he fell from politics was sugarcane farming. So, that is a very special ... view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Item 22 is also a very important one, which is to put maize flour, cassava flour, wheat and meslin maize flour containing cassava by more than 10 per cent in weight to zero-rated. This is the matter of ugali, chapati, mandazi and others to make sure that our people are also protected in this particular line. So, by the House passing these amendments, we will have shielded Kenyans and protected them. Because I want to keep moving, I will ask Hon. John Mbadi, later on, when he is contributing, to speak to this issue that the Government and this Parliament ... view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: (Homa Bay CWR, ODM) view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I would like to support Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah’s amendment on the issue of bringing regulations relating to remission of Excise Duty as he has mentioned to the House. So far, regulations are handled under the Statutory Instruments Act which states that once the Delegated Legislation Committee looks at them and approves, they do not come here. They only come here if they are annulled. However, there are exemptions to this. For example, regulations under Value Added Tax and Income Tax. view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: This is to make sure that the House takes note when there is a remission on some of these Excise regulations, so that it is not just done outside the precincts of the House. We will also need to look broadly at the Statutory Instruments Act so that we see how much of it the House is involved in and what regulations are to be approved. This can be done another time. But I just wanted to express the support of the Committee for this particular amendment. view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by inserting the following new clause immediately after Clause 25- Amendment of the 25A. The Second Schedule to the Excise Duty Act is amended- Second Schedule to No. (a) in Part I by inserting the following new paragraph immediately 23of 2015. after paragraph 12− 13. Illuminating kerosene supplies to licenced or registered manufacturers of paint, resin or shoe polish in such quantities as the Commissioner may approve. (b) in Part II in Item 1 by inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph 2− 3. Excisable services ... view
