• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: 75 (1) which is sub-headed “Receivers and Collectors of National Government Revenue” begins by saying: “The Cabinet Secretary shall in writing designate persons as receivers of national revenue” and what my amendment seeks to do is to give that responsibility of receiving--- view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to plead with the House that we move together in this because I do not want to disrupt anything that has been done by the Minister which I was gladly part of. I started by pointing out that it is the responsibility of the President of the Republic to ensure security of Kenyans and their property. It is in that light that I want to assign this responsibility to a specific person. If you look at the Bill as published, Article 75 which is sub-headed: “Receivers and Collectors of national government revenue” begins by ... view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I just want to, humbly, persuade the House, so that--- view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, is it in order for the hon. Member to confuse “receiver of revenue” with “collector of revenue”? The amendment is about collector of revenue, which should be one person who ensures that all revenues are paid into the Consolidated Fund. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, regarding the Cabinet Secretary, whom we have defined as the “receiver of revenue” in the second paragraph, we are saying “the Cabinet Secretary may, in writing, designate persons as receivers of revenue.” That now removes the impracticality of one person doing the job, because he can delegate that function. It is imperative ... view

• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we need to make progress. I want to persuade this House that I am not antagonising the understanding that we had. I just seek to improve what we did. It should be looked at in that spirit. I also drafted my amendment, which was taken up. It would serve to inform this House that I tried to reach the Treasury on this amendment but they came back to me later, after I had filed this amendment. So, I do not want it to be seen like I am trying to antagonise or go against the understanding ... view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the miscellaneous caption says “Designation of receivers of national government revenue”. I can only push this matter to an extent. I will not overstretch the House. If you look at Clause 75(1), you will appreciate that the power that this Bill is giving to the Cabinet Secretary is to designate persons, in writing. To the extent that there is the question of accountability, then you will have to interact with the various receivers of revenue. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, if it is in the wisdom of this House that we have as many receivers of revenue ... view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I would like it to go on record that my amendment was defeated. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to support but we thought that “crisis” is not a management word. That is why we talked of a breach. It is a clean-up improvement on English. I support. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, you know when you stop funding then it paralyses operations, and that needs to be done with a good reason like the approval of Parliament. That is why we were reducing it. To suffer for 30 days without anybody knowing you are suffering--- I support. view
