• 6 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, on this amendment, we need clarity because it refers to a licence issued by the board and the definition of a licence in the Bill refers to licence issued to millers. So, the Chair needs to be very clear. What does it, therefore, imply? Does it imply that import and export of sugar will only be done by millers? That is the clarification that the Chair needs to give us. view
• 6 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have a problem with the first part of the amendment where it says that the imported levy on domestic sugar and 10 per cent of CIF value. The Chair has to explain to us the economic justification for this amendment given that 10 per cent of CIF of imported sugar is still going to make it easy for importers of sugar to bring sugar into this country. So, it is not helping us. If we compare that against Hon. Wamunyinyi’s proposal, it is left open so that in times where there is too much imported ... view
• 6 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, as you re- commit Clause 18, I also wish Clause 15 to be re-committed. view
• 6 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I concur with Hon. Oundo. If you look at the proposal in the Bill, the National Treasury will give the approval. Previously, there was no approval from the National Treasury. So, that is a very important point, namely that we allow the Board to invest the money, but with the Treasury’s approval. We have had cases where boards have been allowed to sit on money, like the Communications Authority of Kenya under the CIF. Billions of monies are sitting there doing nothing. In fact, it is earning interest for board members. view
• 6 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: No, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady; I did not want to speak to this. I think I pressed the button by mistake. view
• 6 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I think the point raised by Dr. Nyikal is very crucial. One of the things I am asking is: We are deleting Clause 31 and introducing a new clause altogether. Why can we not have it under Clause 31 as it is? view
• 6 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support this amendment by Hon. Oundo on the basis that we have those employees who were working for Kenya Sugar Board, taken to AFA and dispersed to various departments which are not under the Sugar Board. We even have information that there is internal reorganisation in anticipation of this Bill so that new people are employed. We want to say that the staff that used to work for the Kenya Sugar Board, whether they are now working for Tea Directorate or wherever, should all be absorbed in the Kenya Sugar Board. view
