• 3 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Assistant Minister, are you talking about Members of Parliament or journalists? view
• 3 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Order, Mr. Sirma! Let us deal with one point of order at a time! While the observation by the Assistant Minister is quite valid, I do not think that the Chair has any powers to order journalists to come here. But it is good to note that, indeed, this is a very important Bill. I think that members of the journalism profession should be here to listen to the debate on a Bill that actually concerns their livelihood and profession. So, it is a valid point of order, but our powers are limited. Hon. Sirma, what is your point of ... view
• 3 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Well, it is disappointing to the hon. Members and Chair as well, that the members of the Fourth Estate are not here to hear something that, really, concerns them. But, let us go on! Proceed, hon. Syongo! view
• 3 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Very well! We appreciate those who are here. More are welcome to come. Let us continue! view
• 28 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to make my contribution on the taxation measures that the Minister has proposed in his Budget Speech. Broadly, I will be supportive of the measures that he has proposed. I do not feel that they will become a major tax burden on the country. Therefore, it will be very kind and easy on the pockets of Kenyans. I commend the Minister for being ambitious and courageous enough to move forward in trying to achieve a better economy for our people. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, having said that, ... view
• 28 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if you look at the issue of zero-rating tax on certain equipment, that is positive. However, if you are going to give the Commissioner of Income Tax the power to except certain taxable supplies, the question arises; are we going back to the bad old days when this could be opened to abuse? How do you police this, so that it is not abused. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also totally agree with Mr. Lagat that when zero- rating tax on milk powder, it should be specific to imported milk powder. I welcome very ... view
• 28 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, there being no other business, the House is, therefore, adjourned until Tuesday, 3rd July, 2007, at 2.30 p.m. The House rose at 5.40 p.m. view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity also to contribute to the Financial Statement by the Minister for Finance. At the outset, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me also join my colleagues in congratulating the Minister for presenting this year's Budget--- view
• 27 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was saying that I want to join my colleagues in congratulating the Minister for delivering this year's Budget, which, in my opinion, is very ambitious. I think Kenyans, and Kenya as a whole, must be ambitious. If we have to achieve any goal, it is better to aim at the stars. Even if we do not reach there, we may well land on the moon. But if we do not aim for stars, we will end up remaining pedestrians. For that 2080 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 27, 2007 reason, I wish to thank ... view
