• 16 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. During the Financial Year 2005/2006, a total of Kshs75,320,251 was paid by 256 private education service providers registered with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). In addition, the sector collected Kshs2,607,152 as Pay As You Earn (PAYE) and Kshs32,961,168 as Withholding Tax on agency basis. view
• 16 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the role of the Ministry of Finance is to collect taxes. The role of provision of education is left to the Ministry of Education. However, to answer hon. Mwandawiro's question, this Government has provided free primary education which is funded by taxes paid by Kenyans. view
• 16 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when it comes to taxation, money collected as taxes from a taxation point of view cannot go to the same sector it has come from. I said that what has been collected as PAYE goes to KRA and from there that is when you get things like free primary education which has indeed helped to bridge the gap between the poor and the rich. That is where Members of Parliament get a share of their Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) and I assume hon. Mwandawiro has allocated some to schools. view
• 15 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that Mr. Fredrick Dzinga has not been paid his commuted pension and gratuity since 1998. (b) Mr. Dzinga's claim papers have not been forwarded to the Pensions Department by his former Ministry or department for processing and eventual payment of commuted pension and gratuity. From the information which has been provided by the hon. Member, it is not possible to establish which Ministry Mr. Dzinga worked for. We shall follow up the issue once we get the relevant information from the hon. Member. view
• 15 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, it is quite clear from the Question that the Personal Number that was given by the hon. Member was not right. Therefore, he made us try to grouse about something that is not there. It will be my pleasure to be of service to the hon. Member if the details are correct. view
• 15 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not remember having responded to hon. Khamisi to the effect that the Pensions Department would move from Uchumi House to Bima House. Could the hon. Member substantiate which cases of inefficiency are there? I have been very clear in the response that I have given. About a month ago, I made it very clear in this House that unless the right forms are filled in the right manner and forwarded to the Pensions Department, the department will not be in a position to process payments if the details are not correct. In this ... view
• 15 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I really sympathise with the pensioner. He has waited for eight years, but the hon. Member has asked the Question during his fourth year in this House. He should have asked the Question when he came to the House if there was that kind of a delay. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are so many pensioners out there and unless their pension forms are filled in the right manner and forwarded to the Treasury, their pensions November 15, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3651 cannot be processed. This is where the connection seems to be lacking. ... view

• 14 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Much obliged, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I had a request from Prof. Maathai and that is why I was requesting to donate some two minutes to her. Despite your ruling, I would still appeal to you that due to her status, when she makes a request to some of us, she should be considered. view
• 14 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I would like to thank the hon. Members who have contributed to this debate for the honest and sincere manner in which they have articulated their views. In particular, I would like to thank hon. Sungu for the manner in which he went through the entire Bill. He has appealed to this House to look at issues in an objective manner that will help the insurance industry. The insurance sector is a very important sector to the extent that it was a general feeling that it had been neglected. I am glad ... view
