• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: seen his name in the list of ICPAK members. He has told me he is a chartered accountant. Maybe he forgot to register. Anyway, let me move on. You will forgive me for lack of understanding. This amendment is talking about the collector of stamp duties that shall refer to Chief Government Valuer or a registered and practising valuer.

• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I can hear my teacher shouting put the Question.

The person who has constructed a building is able to claim back the tax paid on those items. view

• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am familiar with the VAT Act because I brought a raft of amendments in 2014 after the Government had put to Vatable almost all basic commodities. I remember these are the same items we took back to zero-rating. The Government was trying to take them from zero-rating to tax-exempt. If we amend by deleting, it means we are not taking them to tax-exempt, but reverting back to zero-rating. That is the position. view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I just wanted to add that it was going to make imported medicine cheaper than medicine manufactured locally. On a light note, I want to say that maybe they were advised by Hon. Kimunya. You know Hon. Kimunya is a capitalist in this House. He wants to tax Kenyans. I hope he did not go to the National Treasury to advise them. view
