• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Indeed, our socio-economic situation is such that there is a lot of dependency, caused by the high poverty levels which feed on our people. This will be better taken care of if our people are educated on the positive roles of tax, business and contributing to the national basket. This can be done very well when people know they are respected and can participate in the process of revenue collection and get services. view
• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: The important thing here is provision of commensurate services which justify the collection of tax. When Members of the Public do not get these services, they need to have a place for redress. This is what I suggest is embellishment to this Bill. It should not just be for the business community but also the citizens who pay tax. Do they get the services? view
• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: This Tribunal should have a wide range of concerns, which should be addressed so that there is value for money. We need to benchmark with countries that have very strong tax regimes, where citizens are happy to contribute as much as 50 per cent of their earnings, because they get services. We need to give feedback to the taxpayers; they need to know the contributions they make add value to the welfare of their society. view
• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: This Bill goes a long way in providing confidence to investors. Lately, we have read about very lucrative businesses being taken to other countries because of our very unpredictable tax systems. I wish to thank the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade for bringing up this reform. As you can see from both sides of the House, we appreciate such reforms because they are user and citizen friendly and they go a long way towards reducing poverty in the citizenry. view
• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I would like to support the Chair and encourage him to go even further and involve the general public and younger generations to participate in these tax systems. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I owe this to the Shinyalu people. I would like to thank the Chairman, Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade for coming up with this very important amendment Bill on insurance. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thanks to our Constitution, we now have a devolved governance system where we will have entrepreneurs around the country especially the youth and women who will be coming up with diversity of investment. Once the youth and women and of course, other people get involved in business, they run the risk of losing all their investments to challenges like fire and theft. However, the biggest challenge has been the ability to get their investments through insurance. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: This Bill will, indeed, guarantee some discipline in insurance business. It will also offer some confidence in young entrepreneurs to do business across the country. So, we should support this Bill. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Kenyans have lost a lot of money through claims that are never processed or paid but if they are paid, they are not paid in time. You will find an insurer who makes a claim spending years before he gets anything from the insurance company. I think this The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: intervention is important because it will speed up the process when time is provided within which insurance companies are supposed to finalize transactions. view
