• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the difference between my amendment and that of hon. Ogindo is that hon. Ogindo’s amendment seeks to impose Capital Gains Tax on all shares, land and transfers. In my amendment, I am seeking to only restrict it for now to mining companies and mineral companies because, recently, mining companies got prospective licences on payment of minimum amounts of Kshs3,000 or Kshs10,000. However, when they discover oil, they sell their shares to other companies. It has happened. When they do so, the Government does not get any revenue at all. So, in my amendment, I am ... view

• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 17. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the purpose of this is to require the Commissioner for Income Tax to be able to appeal to tenants to give him information where he thinks that a landlord is not paying tax. view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, whereas I see the rationale for doing this, what the Committee is proposing is to extend the exemption period.

• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am of the same opinion as the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. I am aware of the challenges that KRA is undergoing. That is why I had proposed the same amendment as the Committee to give the KRA a commission of 2 per cent; that is to allow them to retain a commission of 2 per cent and send the balance to the Consolidated Fund. It is me who is alive to this. As I said, I have a letter from the Attorney-General dated 4th October, 2012, which is ... view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the Bill be amended in Clause 48 by deleting the words “societies” and “demobilization” appearing in the definition of “eligible securities” and substituting therefor the words “securities” and “immobilization” respectively. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this is basically a clean-up exercise. It was a typographical error. We are correcting it. The Committee has the same amendment. I beg to move. view
