• 30 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: With those few remarks and especially with regard to the issue that I have mentioned concerning the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF), I ask hon. Members to support the Supplementary Estimates and we continue working together towards improving financial management and allocation of resources in this country. view
• 30 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: I beg to move. view

• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would plead with the hon. Member that on the particular thing he is trying to cure, the Committee is also addressing itself to the same issue in one of the amendments that have been proposed by the Committee.

• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, what if, for example, a taxpayer cannot install one of those devices within that six months period and there is need to extend?

Secondly, when it comes to a question of standards, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is not the standards body. We would assume that all these devices must meet those standards which are not set by the KRA. Those standards are set by the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS). So, one ... view
