• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon, Speaker. I want to support this trade agreement that was adopted in the Ninth World Trade Organisation (WTO) Ministerial Conference in Bali, Indonesia in December, 2013, which I attended. I would like to tell the Members that it contains provisions that will expedite the movement, release and clearance of all goods, including the goods in transit. It also sets out measures that effectively set out the co-operation between customs and other appropriate authorities. It is an agreement that is going to facilitate the quick movement of goods from one country to the other. This agreement has opportunities ... view
• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: region have ratified and we are privileged this year to be hosting the Tenth Ministerial Conference. It would be a shame if our Parliament will be the one that has not ratified a trade agreement that was agreed upon in Bali in December, 2013. Since we have given all the reasons why we think we should ratify this trade agreement, the Members will agree with me that we need to ratify it, like yesterday. Unfortunately, the Ministry delayed in bringing it. My Chair was trying to give the benefits that the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement will give and we are ... view
• 1 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 10 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new sub- clause immediately after sub-clause (6)— “(6A) Where the Commissioner fails to respond to the application for deregistration within six months, the applicant shall be deemed to be deregistered.” The Bill does not give a timeline within which the commissioner is required to respond to any application for deregistration. This may create uncertainty on the part of the taxpayer, especially in the case of foreign entities that wish to exit from the Kenyan market. That is why we have ... view

• 1 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 18 of the Bill be amended by deleting sub-clause (1). The provision contradicts section 16(2) of the Companies Act and the concept of a registered company being a legal entity. A registered company should be treated as a company and an individual be treated as an individual. The provision says that a registered company must be treated like any other independent person with its own rights and liabilities appropriate to itself. This means that the company debts are not the debts of any member or directors. The only instance that ... view
• 1 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 35 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new sub- clause immediately after sub-clause (2)— “(3) Where the penalty or interest payable under this section accrues, the aggregate payable penalty or interest shall not exceed the principal tax liability.” The import of this amendment is that we have to invoke the in Duplum Rule which says that a taxpayer should not be required to pay more than double the interest of the tax due from him. If your tax due is around Kshs100,000, you should not pay interest ... view
