• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to request that this Question be deferred. That is because the Question had originally been directed to the Ministry of Education, but was referred to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance recently. There is some information we have not been able to get. We were ready to present it any time next week, but the Member has told me that he will not be in next week. So, I request that it comes when the Member will be back after next week. view
• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will recall that this Question came last week and we canvassed it here. There is a table from which I was reading the breakdown. But the Members intervened and said that they had not seen it. They wanted to have time to interrogate it before we could continue. So, perhaps, we could proceed if hon. Members have looked at the table. I hope they have seen it and they can interrogate me from there. view
• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance does not allocate money. Money is allocated by the mother Ministries. The Ministry of Finance can only act on the prompting of the Ministries which prepare the budgets. So, we are not the ones who reduced. view
• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, actually that was the gist of the matter. This is a tax which spread over a period of three years. This is because the REA had assumed that they were not supposed to pay VAT. Finally, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) decided that they pay VAT. The question, therefore, was not the allocation; the question was this element of tax which if deducted from the allocation will substantially affect the money which goes to each constituency. view
