• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: the few shillings you collect from him will not be available in the long run. This is a very peculiar country because very rich people, endowed individuals and business people pay less tax than those people with payslips who are less endowed. view
• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: The other principle of taxation I want to speak about is equity which has two facets: horizontal equity and vertical equity. Horizontal equity in taxation assumes that people who are gifted in the same way and those who are equal in revenue and net worth should pay tax that is almost equal, so that it cuts across horizontally. However, the people who carry the burden of taxation in this country are those who have payslips because it is easier for the revenue collector to collect money from people who are employed, especially if they shy away from going to the ... view
• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: On the same equity, there is vertical equity which says that if I earn Kshs10, 000, then there is no way I should pay tax which is equivalent to a person who earns many times the revenue that I earn. If there is a differentiation in income and net worth, the same differentiation should also percolate to when it comes to payment of tax. Referencing to also what I have explained there before in horizontal equity, this country is very unequal. view
• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I heard him but I think it is within my rights to make the contributions that I am making, especially given that I have only talked about taxation. To the Hon. Member, you are not talking about cows and milk when you talk about VAT. You are view

• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: talking about taxation. All the points I have made are related to the topic that we are discussing this afternoon. To wind up, one of the other issues that we should be very alive to is economic effect and neutrality. Even as we collect tax, it should be very alive to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) that any kind of tax the KRA levies to the population should bring about neutrality to the economy. I am saying this because we have seen many people being disrupted to the point of closing shop because of our taxation regime. Therefore, it should ... view
• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the chance to support the annulment of the Private Security (General) Regulations. I have gone through the Report by the Committee and I cannot agree more with them. The issue of saying that private security guards can collaborate with police officers who are employed by the public without proper guidelines is a step in the wrong direction. There is no way a person employed in the private sector can obey the orders given by police bosses. The private sector does not have the privilege of taking their private guards to the kind of ... view

• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Suna East and other places in this country. Therefore, it was important for the drafters to go around the country. The issue of security affects all and sundry, the mighty and the lowly. Therefore, it is important for them to conduct proper public participation and not just the academic public participation that we are used to. They should even allow enough time for the Kenyan people and the players in that sector to ventilate. The kind of Regulation they were trying to make are far reaching. Therefore, given the magnitude of their effect, the freedom of debate should be enlarged. ... view
