• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: If this is done, Hon. (Dr.) Pukose can get an opportunity to take some development projects to his constituency. Hon. Maoka Maore can have… If we are going to have the 27 Members who have been there, we want to know, from the Committee, the list of projects that have gone to those 27 constituencies. Let us be fair. view

• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Fairness must begin in this House. It cannot begin outside the House. So, I am pleading with Members that we should not allow this to happen. The last Parliament refused it. This Parliament must also reject it. Let us have other Members. If you have served a three-year term in that Committee, please, give way to another Member. This is not a Committee that was formed for you. With those views, I am urging Members to support me in rejecting it. For the Members who were there, and have performed very well and whom we need their expertise, like my ... view

• 22 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Ichung’wah, listen. I agree with what Hon. Ichung’wah is saying. I respect him a lot because he is a former Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. However, is it fair for Hon. Ichung’wah to speak from both sides of the mouth? He is saying that he is on record in this House as having opposed the reduction of VAT from 16 per cent to 14 per cent. Today, he is opposed to increasing the same VAT from 14 per cent to 16 per cent. It is clear that he is playing to the gallery. He is speaking to ... view
• 22 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. At the outset, I wish to support the proposed Tax Laws (Amendment) (No.2) Bill. Firstly, we have to remember that, at the beginning of this year, the world was visited by the Coronavirus pandemic. When the first case was declared in our country in March 2020, this House, in its wisdom, passed certain amendments to the tax laws that gave relief to many Kenyans. As Hon. Ichung’wah has alluded to, there were varied opinions at that point in time. There were people who said ... view
• 22 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: The majority who were of the opinion that we amend the law and give relief to Kenyans carried the day. I want to remind the House that this country has operated with this tax regime that we are restoring today for the last 10 years. We are not introducing any new taxes. We gave relief in the spirit of the pandemic that was facing our country. We now want to revert back to the tax regime that we have been operating with as a country. I agree with the Members that our country faces a very difficult time - which ... view
• 22 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: The Coronavirus pandemic has affected small and big economies. Firstly, we are talking from that baseline. So, it is important to note that this is a disaster that has befallen the world. As the leaders in this country, we have to come up with measures to help the country move forward. It is debatable whether people, companies or businesses which enjoyed those reliefs passed them to the people. The Value Added Tax (VAT) was reduced from 16 per cent to 14 per cent. Can we discuss the trickle-down effect? Did that money really go to the poor people in the ... view
