• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I basically want your guidance because I know that after this, we have the other Motion of Adjournment that requires, at least, to be discussed for three hours unless there are no speakers. Now it is approaching 10.00 p.m. In our Procedural Motion we had said to the closure of business for today which ends at 12.00 O’clock. So, I am just wondering whether this is not really the right time for the Mover to be called upon to reply. view

However, during verification, it was noted that the importer had not submitted JEVIC certificate which was mandatory. Consequently, the vehicle could not be released to Celestine Mwaniki for failure to comply with inspection requirements. Subsequently, and as required by law, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) included the vehicle in Kenya Gazette Notice Volume CX11 No.24 of 11th March, 2011, as lot number 136/11.

• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a case where a customer was let down by the clearing agent. This is because in the new system – Simba System – a customer does not deal directly with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). You deal through your agent. The agent was aware of these issues, but for one reason or another, never communicated the information to the customer. Actually, I was very sad when I read that she had actually paid customs duty and yet, the vehicle was sold. It was actually a very sad case, where she was let down by the ... view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, we have tried to trace any communication and there is only one communication, dated 8th March, 2012. All the other communications were with the agent. As I said, this was a case where a customer was really let down by the clearing agent. This is because under the new system – Simba System – a customer does not deal directly with KRA. It is the agent who has a password and the customer can do nothing about it. I was actually very sad when I read this. As I said, the only little thing that I ... view

• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) As at the end of October, 2011, the total external debt (owed and guaranteed) by the Government of Kenya between 2003 and 2011 amounted to Kshs304,284,000,000.

(b) I hereby table a schedule providing details of the projects that were funded and the respective cost of each project. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: (c) I confirm that the funded projects using donor funds are prioritized in the line with the country’s development agenda, and that they are distributed evenly in the country as can be clearly seen from the table. There is no region which is favoured. view
• 27 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, the Question is about the projects that were funded using loans. This is the list of donor-funded projects. But, obviously, we even have local borrowing funded projects which we have not been asked about. So, these are only donor-funded debts and not local debts. view
