• 7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that was just an example of what happened yesterday. The Executive was found not to have addressed a Question sufficiently, hence the sanction. I want to conclude my submission by saying, remember Mr. Speaker, Sir, that there was an issue that I raised last year in May. It was a Ministerial Statement. The Minister for Finance refused literally to give that Statement until this year in May. That has now become a subject of investigation by a Committee. I think the Executive needs to be reprimanded and told to take matters of this House seriously. Whenever we ... view
• 7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the provisions of the Constitution are very clear. Article 221 is very specific that, at least, two months before the end of each financial year, the Cabinet Secretary responsible for finance shall submit to the National Assembly estimates of Revenue and Expenditure of the national Government for the next financial year, to be tabled in the National Assembly.

The Minister has clearly stated that he has done it the way it should. I urge the Minister to look at what he calls the estimates again and see that what he has done is not in line with how we expect the estimates or revenue to be done. This is because he has just lumped amounts of ordinary revenue under one line and there is not even a revenue head indicated. So, kindly— view

• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. This House passed the Companies (Amendment) Bill which is now an Act of Parliament and we expected major reforms in doing business. The question that I want to put to the Minister is with regard to taxes. The Minister is aware that one of the reasons why the shilling is volatile is because of the low investment and many investors moving out of Kenya. There are cases of tax disputes as a result of tax compliance, computation and assessment. What has the Minister done with the tax laws to simplify them so that ... view
