• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, in our consultation with the National Treasury, in which Hon. Mule was present--- His fears are founded. We are talking about excise duty. The National Treasury said that these items are not excisable. view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: You will look for the Act Mheshimiwa . Just let me make my point. You know when we are in a shouting match we cannot--- These items are not excisable. All excisable items are in the First Schedule of the Excise Act. We also have a list of the non-excisable items, including sanitary pads. That is under Section 69. This is a very clear issue. However, the point I needed to make is this. If the Question is let to stand the way we have put it, it means we will lose everything else, including what is contained under paragraphs ... view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, as you know I am very interested in this issue. I like the fact that the Government is finally making an attempt to tax this industry. Even as the Leader of the Majority Party withdraws a Bill that was discussed here last week, he is doing it with our support so that we do not have to wait any longer before the State begins to tax these people. view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I would like to go on record that within the next couple of weeks, there will be a Bill to deal with how we regulate the gambling and betting industry. view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I support. view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, on behalf of Hon. Jude Njomo, I beg to move:- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: THAT, the Bill be amended by inserting the following new clause immediately after Clause 18— Amendment of “18A. Section 7 of the Excise Duty Act, 2015 is amended in section 7 of No. 23 subsection (3) by— of 2015. (a) deleting sub-section (2); (b) deleting sub-section (3). I need to explain this. As you know, I am interested in this issue because I brought a Petition last week in relation to issues of possible tax evasion by the East African Breweries Limited (EABL). This law seems to make law for a single company. I have been in this Departmental Committee ... view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I rose on a point of order because of what I heard my good friend, Hon. Waiganjo, say. It flies in the face of the Constitution. You have attempted to give guidance. view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: This guidance cannot be “either or”. This is a straightforward matter because the Constitution is explicit. It states that “only the national Government may impose” and you have to do it through Parliament. Nothing stops the legislators who wish this position. This position is what we all wish as people who come from the areas where these products are grown. First, I am contesting the power of the CS, which is unconstitutional. It is put here in this Bill, which seems to say that the CS can do that. The mischief that Hon. Waiganjo is talking about is in the ... view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I support. This proposal could not have come at a better time. As the Chair of the Committee has said, the new thing is the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and TICAD. TICAD is the one for failed Heads of State who were just here last week. They come and barricade our city and we cannot do anything. This is important so that we can spread development away from our towns. view
