• 5 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, unless there is any other reason that is clogging the clearing of containers, in terms of document lodgement and decentralising them from Long Rooms to the clearing agents themselves, the operations of the port have improved considerably. The clearing agents are now able to clear their documents within two days as opposed to the previous six days. view
• 5 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, not everything can be removed from Mombasa. For one, you cannot remove the Indian Ocean from Mombasa and neither can you stop the ships from docking there. What the KRA has done is to ensure that a clearing agent in Malaba can access the computer and lodge the document in Malaba without having to go to the Long Rooms in Mombasa April 5, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 369 to clear the same. I think that is good for this country. view
• 5 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not a language barrier. We were taught by the same teachers with hon. Mwandawiro, and although he was the best Swahili and English student, we were also there, somehow. view
• 5 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: The point is that we have to start looking at Kenya as Kenya. If we are going to distribute employment to all parts of this country, and sometimes at the expense of one centralised place, I think we are doing a service to this nation.

The operations have been decentralized to reduce the number of days that clearing agents took in lodging their documents. I have said that certain things cannot change from where they are. However, today, you can lodge your documents in Malaba or Kitale which is near the hon. Member's constituency. This will shorten the number of days for him. view
• 5 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said at the beginning, there is nothing that has been 370 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 5, 2006 relocated to Nairobi. What has been decentralized and I repeat it here, is the document lodgement. I have said that it used to take six days, but now it is geared towards taking two days. I think that is part of service delivery by this Government. view
• 29 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know that the matter concerning KRA's Electronic Tax Registers is, indeed, of great concern to this country. However, the bulk of the team that we work with in Treasury, including the Director who represents us in KRA, are in Washington, USA, and will be back on Friday. I want to request that we be allowed to respond to this matter on Tuesday, next week if only hon. Billow would accept that. view
• 29 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not say that we are not going to work on it. What I said is that the majority of the people we need in order to make a decision together are not in. I was just requesting the Chair--- view
