• 19 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to be heard. I brought this Question to the House about a month ago under Questions by Private Notice. The Office of the Clerk of the National Assembly did not put this Question on the Order Paper as required by law. When my Personal Assistant went to the Office of the Clerk of the National Assembly, he was told that I should not ask this Question, and that it was a matter of procedure. I insisted. I called the Speaker of the National Assembly who was in Mombasa and ... view
• 19 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: The Speaker had to come to his office and investigate the issue of Mastermind Tobacco (Kenya) Limited. It was the Speaker himself who ordered that the Question be listed on the Order after issuing a warning letter to some people in that office. Mastermind (Kenya) Limited has been untouchable. Now that we are asking that Mastermind (Kenya) Limited pays taxes, those who blocked KRA from collecting the taxes from that company are now imputing improper motive in my person. You have seen a letter from the Prime Minister which tried to block payment of taxes by Mastermind (Kenya) Limited. view
• 19 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to challenge the Assistant Minister today to substantiate where I received the money, who I sent to solicit for the money and when it was. We cannot allow these big multinational companies not to pay billions of shillings due to the KRA when Kenyans pay taxes. We cannot allow such companies to use an Assistant Minister like this one here and his brother, the Prime Minister, to take money and refuse to say so before Parliament. view

• 19 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I first want to thank the Chair very much because the whole House cannot certainly be held hostage. The dignity of parliamentarians and myself is at stake. As that goes on, I would also like the House to get to the bottom of the issue of Mastermind Tobacco and the letter; how the Question was brought to this House, how it was delayed and how it has gotten to this Floor. view
• 17 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Finance the following Question by Private Notice:- (a) Is the Minister aware that Ms Mastermind Tobacco (K) Limited has not been remitting taxes since 2007 and now owes Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) more than Kshs12 billion? (b) Why has the company not paid the arrears despite several tax demand letters sent to them by KRA? (c) Can the Minister confirm that the failure by KRA to enforce the several tax demand notices is attributed to corruption and, if so, what measures will the Ministry take to ensure that all companies ... view
