Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. At the outset, I would like to say that it is a fact that excise duty is an important component of our self-governance. This Bill brings harmonisation to various forms of taxation that are happening in this country. I would also like to point out that by bringing this Bill at this time, it is important because we are able to harmonise with other East African Community (EAC) countries where new laws have already been established. So, this Bill is timely. It has come ...

I see this as a negative thing because any emissions that are emitted by vehicles, especially the old vehicles that are imported into this country also have a health aspect. This matter needs to be looked at to ensure that we do not have vehicles that are causing respiratory infections among our citizens. The emissions are not good for the environment of our country. The Bill gives penalties. Any Bill that has clear penalties especially enhancing reduction of loss of money for this country is positive. This Bill provides a penalty of payment of two times the excise duty payable ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity. I must, at the outset, say that I support this Bill. As I join my colleagues in thanking this House for saving Mumias Sugar Company (MSC), I would like to say that this is a step in the right direction. Many projects that are very important to this country are going down. We look forward to seeing other opportunities where mega projects like roads which have been ignored for a very long time are being done. I dare mention the Kitui to Kibwezi Road which touches on 10 counties. ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I am rising on a point of order based on Standing Order No. 95 that Mover be called upon to reply. The reason as to why I am saying this is because the discussions that we are having now or rather our debates are based on matters that have been raised at the Committee level. Each Parliamentary Committee has looked at the budgets and the matters that have been raised by various committees and put recommendations which have been sent to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. So, I am seeking your indulgence that the Mover ...
