• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Speaker for giving me this chance to also contribute to this important Petition. This is a very important Petition because any country which does not control quality is a country which does not have a future. The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries and, indeed, the whole country has lost direction in terms of ensuring that all agricultural institutions are up to task. One of the biggest issues we currently have is funding. I want to beseech this House, through the Committee on Agriculture and Livestock together with the Committee on Budgets and Appropriations that, when it ... view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support what the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and Planning has said. It is important for this country to recognise the importance of distribution of investment in the country. Therefore, the last amendment is important and I support that the threshold should be moved from ten billion to two billion to allow more investors to benefit from this. view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am not very sure. I would like to ask if we can get more clarification on this given that the minimum tax was introduced in the last Finance Bill. view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: The objective of the minimum tax was to ensure that at least everyone pays tax. This is because even if you do not declare that you have income, which can be used to compute tax, at least you pay something at a very concessionary percentage. Therefore, by moving this amendment and exempting investors who have just invested at least around Kshs12 billion, we are effectively starting to erode the objective of the minimum tax before even it is properly implemented. In fact in the absence of proper explanation, I am not very comfortable supporting this amendment. view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I rise to support. Tractor is a major machine in farming. By taxing them, it would have discouraged many farmers from buying tractors for their farms and it would affect food security. Therefore, I support. view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman for catching me with your eye, at least, for now. Hon. Duale, you know English is foreign. It came in a plane. I support this amendment because it is very important. We are talking about retirees and when we retire, we are running into a risk of sweeping all the benefits we have worked for. It is the same thing like the one we were talking about on medical. It will sweep all your savings and you become a poor man. We normally say that education is the only equaliser and this is on ... view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: I, Hon. Joseph Limo, on behalf of the people of Kipkelion East in Kericho County, I vote no. view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: On behalf of the people of Kipkelion and the hustler nation, I vote No. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. I want to thank you and the Leader of the Majority Party for the Communication you made at the beginning of this Sitting. The communication from the President was not well structured and had raised mixed reactions that you quickly explained. I want to thank the Leader of the Majority Party for mastering the art of speaking to our hearts and that is how it should be. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: As I support the Motion, I want to state that we do not live in isolation and we are aware that the COVID-19 pandemic is very serious and it is not only affecting our health, but also our economy. The health of our people is very important and we must ensure that we survive for tomorrow. As we abide to those protocols, we must be aware that WHO has communicated that COVID-19 might be here for a long time. view
