• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, really, speaking as a professional in financial matters and the one who has read that Article extensively, it is true that the matter before us actually constitutes a money Bill. What I do not know is why it was approved without going through the normal process. It is a money Bill because it talks about a proposal to increase or reduce tax. What we have before us is a proposal to reduce tax. So, that is my understanding. view

• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Actually hon. Chepkong’a should have gone ahead to read the Constitution. The Constitution has not left it ambiguous on what is a Money Bill. It goes ahead to define it. Therefore, it is not just the discretion of the Speaker. But finally, this House has already considered this matter previously.

Suppose today I am divorcing - and God forbid I will not divorce my wife - but if I was divorcing my wife and I have transferred a house to her, then when we calculate the Capital Gains Tax and ask ... view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, whereas parts (b) and (c) are very clear to me on the UN and diplomatic mission et cetera, I would have expected the Chair to give some qualification on Part (a) that before you get exemption, you need to get approval from the Treasury. This used to happen before. If you leave this amendment as it is, many goods will be brought into this country without being subjected to Customs and Excise Duty which really do not qualify. view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: So, do I propose a further amendment? view
