• 18 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Is he the Chair? view
• 18 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: The Government has also supported Kenyans by reducing the Income Tax, Corporate Tax and VAT. However, I wanted to ask the Chairman to consider the Withholding Tax which is still at 6 per cent. I think it is still high. With us having a withholding tax of 3 per cent, maybe, we should consider and also bring it to about 4 per cent so that we can put more money in the pockets of Kenyans. I am also happy to hear from the Chairman that KRA is working on a system where they are going to match what the supplier ... view
• 18 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: On the road toll tax, I support it. It is a good way of developing our infrastructure. However, I want to say before we start charging our road users - because most of these projects have been proposed to be done through PPP - we need to reform the PPP secretariat. We do not have adequate staff, they are under-funded with a very lean staff. I do not think they have the technical capacity to undertake what is being promised here. I also want to say as a country we have suffered a lot. Most of the debts we are ... view
• 18 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: On the Standards Act, I thank the Committee, the consolidator has been defined and now the consignee will become visible and most of our people on River Road will now pay tax, having been recognised by the Government. view
• 18 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Lastly, I am very happy that KRA is being encouraged to collect taxes on behalf of other Government agencies and even county governments. The KRA is very efficient even at 2 per cent. It is very fair. I have seen what is happening at the Nairobi County. They have become very efficient. What Nairobi County used to collect before as land rates and parking fee will go up. On club membership and CSR, when a company pays for club membership it should not be taxed. It is good to encourage our people to join clubs as they will become healthy ... view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. We have given the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) a lot of money to employ additional teachers. I want to request them to ensure that they employ headteachers and deputies. There is no need of employing more teachers who cannot be managed. It has been a challenge since last year. This is something that we have been following up with the TSC, but it has not been implemented. It is just a simple request. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to make my contribution. view
• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: At the outset, I support the Bill. It is going to be a game changer especially for people who participate in tenders and those engaged in the construction industry. As it is known in this country, before this law, I am sure electronic documents were not accepted. It has been very difficult for Kenyans especially when they are tendering because even filling the business questionnaire can take a very long time and many Kenyans have lost tenders just because of wasting a lot of time and being late in submission of the tender documents. view
• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: This law is going to create a fair playing ground. In the past, we have seen instances where somebody would submit tender documents and some of them would be plucked out. For example, the Value Added Tax (VAT) or tax compliance certificate would be plucked by fraudsters who want one to lose a tender for no apparent reason. view
