• 22 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to support the Finance Bill. I also want to join you in thanking and congratulating the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and Planning for that clear and elaborate moving of the Motion. As Members will realize, this time round when we were passing the Budget Estimates, the revenue projection for the Government was very conservative and very modest, compared to previous years. If you are wondering why, then the solution and the answer are in the Finance Bill. If you look at this year’s Finance Bill, the proposals and suggestions for various ... view
• 22 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Earn (PAYE), Value Added Tax (VAT), Exercise Duty and even the Tax Procedures and Miscellaneous Tax Laws. You can see very modest adjustments on the tax rates. It means, therefore, that the Government is not looking for new measures to raise revenue. What the Government is proposing is administrative methods of using the current tax rates to raise more resources. The more resources that the Government is looking for in terms of ordinary revenue is Ksh181 billion up from what was projected for the 2020/2021 Financial Year, that is Ksh1,594,000,000 to now the current projection of Ksh1,775,000,000. Hon. Speaker, I ... view
• 22 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: motivate by putting a higher number that you require to employ for you to meet the threshold. To me, I thought the Committee should reconsider retaining the number at ten. I almost called you Madam Speaker, and I do not know why. Forgive me for that. Hon. Speaker, on the issue of bread, I agree totally and we must insist that bread must be zero-rated. I know many Members or Kenyans out there who have low finance background may wonder what the difference between zero-rating and exemption is. If a commodity is zero-rated, it means that the input tax is ... view
• 22 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: funds or whatever you might have done during your tenure, it lands into some other office or officer’s hands to deal with you. People misuse public money as if it is their private money. When they leave, they go home with the loot and leave the wealth to their children and grandchildren. You then hear that so-and- so’s grandparent really worked hard. He sold charcoal to be a billionaire. I wonder how many people can sell charcoal and become billionaires. Even if you tried to sell charcoal to be a billionaire today, you cannot. I do not know why they ... view
• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you are right. That is correct information. The Chair is trying to balance the Budget figures. However, this message will reach her. The questioner almost confused me when he asked the Chair to order for an inquiry. I wondered whether he was seeking the Speaker’s ruling or a Statement from the Committee. view
• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Be that as it may, he concluded by seeking for a Statement. The message will be passed to the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research. She will give an indication as to when the matter will be concluded. view
• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Actually, the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning had recommended that we have an allocation to help in providing relief food. The National Treasury later explained that the contingency funds cater for relief food. It would have been a double allocation. It is a removal altogether and a reversal of that amount. We are removing that amount from the Special Initiatives Programme and taking it back to the National Treasury where the money was removed from in the first place. There is already a provision for relief food funding. view
• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, Hon. Ichung’wah is right. He is aware of Kshs320 million that we were supposed to give to the Lake Basin Development Authority in the first Supplementary Budget when he was still the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. We agreed that we would do it in the main budget. Unfortunately, there was not enough funding. The Kshs100 million was sourced from the Defence Programme and it will be taken to the Lake Basin Development Authority. We hope that Kshs220 million will be allocated in the first Supplementary Budget. The Lake Basin Development Authority must be funded. I ... view
• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. Let us move forward. That is now concluded. view
