• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Chairperson, I beg to move - THAT the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 20. view
• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: That is true, Madam Temporary Chairperson. The deletion of those clauses really takes into account many of the concerns that Sen. Farhiya and Sen. Mugo raised. Therefore, I persuade them to accept the Committee’s amendment. view
• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Chairperson, we have addressed those issues elsewhere. There are new clauses that we have proposed. Maybe for the comfort of Sen. Farhiya, if we take Sen. Mugo’s amendment which goes into even further details, we will be comfortable with that. The only issue is that Sen. Mugo had wanted Sen. Halake to pursue amendments, but she is not here. So, by the leave of the House, another Senator can move those amendments on her behalf. It will be in order even if it is Sen. Farhiya. view
• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: Yes, I can propose that for comfort. We provided for it elsewhere, but in the abundance of caution since Sen. Farhiya is really keen on that. We have provided for SMEs and other businesses. However, if we were to take one of the amendments, we will take Sen. Mugo’s amendments which covers what Sen. Farhiya is talking about. I withdraw the deletion and move that we accept Sen. Mugo’s amendments. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Those are the provisions that create the fund. What we have said in our new clause is that the Cabinet Secretary (CS) in accordance with the Public Finance Management (PFM) regulations, shall set up a fund. The details of that fund will be put in the annexures. ... view

• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: (2) The Cabinet Secretary for matters relating to finance may, for purposes of subsection (1) prescribe measures restricting the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) from the enforcement of tax obligations during a pandemic. We have left it as “may” so that the CS can use a discretion at that point because KRA is still part of the national Government. view
