• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: If you look at Clause 412(a), it is talking of the nominal amount of share as notified to the registrar in the statement of capital delivered under that section. It is also missing. We have to insert that section. I believe that is Clause 411. Your amendment is correct but it is hanging. It does not talk of the section. If you have a copy of the Bill, look at 412(1)(a). It says: “The nominal amount of the share as notified to the registrar in the statement of capital delivered under section---” So, what you are proposing is correct but ... view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support. Once you insert the amendment that has been proposed by the Chair of the core Committee, Sub-clause 3 becomes superfluous. This country is going digital. We should encourage more of those adverts to appear in the website. I do not think there is any company of repute which does not maintain a website or blog. In keeping with the traditions, there is nothing wrong with it. However, let us also be keeping in trend with what is happening. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, this new inclusion is good because what has been an impediment to the growth of enterprises in this country is this double taxation, some of which appear to be inadvertent. So, this inclusion, which is an import from the existing law, is very good as it forestalls the possibility of inadvertent double taxation which will be harmful to the growth of enterprises. I support. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to support the amendment, as I thank the Committee. For those of us who have taken time to look at this Bill, there are quite a few repetitions, grammatical and numbering errors. So far, you can see a trend whereby the Committee has taken efforts to capture them. I support the amendment. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, this is very encouraging. The correction that has been captured by the Committee is in the marginal note. I would also urge the Committee, which is something that I spoke to when I was contributing during the Second Reading, that there are errors even in the arrangement of clauses in this Bill. Before we clean up the Bill, there are some typographical errors even in the arrangement of clauses which is something that we normally do not amend. It is very encouraging that the Committee was thorough enough to even see the errors that are appearing ... view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, of course, my good friend Hon. Chepkong’a as a lawyer, is necessarily a wordsmith but I wish he could do a little bit of mathematical modelling around his argument. If he did, then he would realise that what he is doing is to increase the number of small companies and remove many more companies from the tax bracket. I see a lot of mischief and vested interests in the proposal by ICPSK and ICPAK in proposing that we take it to Kshs50 million or Kshs5 million. What Hon. Nassir is proposing is actually putting fewer companies ... view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Nassir, we are waiting for you to move your amendment on 3(c) and the new clause. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady that is a good amendment. I want to support it. I had asked myself what it was doing in Clause 705. It was not making sense but I am glad where he has put it. It is very important that as a company makes its annual returns, it also includes financial statements and exemption statements where applicable. I support. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: 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
