Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We must be truthful and factual in this...

Hon. Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) Standing Order 83. How can Hon. Murugara claim that the current Deputy President is the best we have had since Moi’s era? What criteria did he use?

Hon. Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) Please, protect me from Hon. DK. I would appreciate it. Again, a lot of English has been used on this issue of phones. I remember the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning visiting shops in downtown Nairobi, explaining to people why they...

Hon. Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I think it is an issue of misunderstanding. Hon. DK, I will bring the amendment so that you support it. But you cannot say…

Hon. Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Please, add me the time that has been taken away from my contribution. We have a proposal of changing tax on ceramics from Ksh50 per 500 kilograms to Ksh50 of the excisable value. That also increases the cost of building....

Hon. Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) No. Hon. Temporary Speaker, let me tell you something. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Martha Wangari) Tell the House. Hon. Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) The Finance Bill amends the Income Tax Act, the Excise Duty Act, the Value Added Tax Act, the Tax Procedures Act, the...

Hon. Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) Thank you, Temporary Speaker. We have been very disciplined. We are here on very important business to ensure that we reject this punitive Finance Bill. We must protect Kenyans from a regime that appears intent on taking more money out of their pockets. We must...

Hon. Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) I do not want to be informed. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Martha Wangari) Continue, you have your rights. Hon. Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) Another issue we have had a problem with is tax predictability.

Hon. Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is in the Bill. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Martha Wangari) I hear you, but I want you to stick to matters that you can substantiate without misleading not just the House, but the country. Hon. Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) Hon. Temporary...

Hon. Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I oppose the Finance Bill as it is. I think one of the things that we have heard here is the issue of those earning less than Ksh30,000 that was promised by the Executive. The people who earn Ksh30,000 and...

Hon. Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) On a point of information, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Mbui misspoke. He meant the tax on new clothes that was to be introduced, as proposed in the Finance Bill. I want the Leader of the Majority Party to confirm that. (Several Members spoke off the record)

Hon. Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) Yes. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) You wish to inform whom? Hon. Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) Hon. Mbui.

Hon. Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Report. I come from Mt. Kenya West and my constituency is Kigumo. We have three tea factories. This discussion is important because even in my constituency, we do not get the same pay across the...

Hon. Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) Hon. Speaker, while I agree with that, I was just referring to the summary that was shared with us. I counted the counties from the list that was shared. This is from the Committee. If that is what happened, they need to correct what they...

Hon. Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) I think this affects us, the people who come from the tea-farming areas. While I support the amendment, I have told the Mover that my worry is the capacity. To add to what Hon. Nyikal said, I think we are trying to address the situation...

Hon. Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was here the whole night with the Leader of the Majority Party. I stand ab initio opposed to this divestiture of Safaricom shares. First, a lot of work has gone into defining the pricing. We have been discussing the price-earnings...

Hon. Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) Sorry, we need more information from the Mover. New Clause 14A of the Bill says all tea buyers or exporters shall, which means including local tea buyers, value-add at least 40 per cent of their annual Kenya tea exports within 10 years from the commencement...

Hon. Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I also support the amendment because we had issues with farmers when they said that it would be paid directly. I support the amendment. (Question, that the words to be left out be left out, put and agreed to) (Clause...

Hon. Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I speak with facts. There is a summary that Hon. Ariko had here, which we were counting from. The one that was shared with us. We had it last night. If it is not, then let us proceed. One of the challenges and...

Hon. Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) I needed more clarification because in the original Bill, the Senate Bill, Clause 13 (2) says that the prices offered at the direct sales shall be competitive and shall be sold at a price above the highest price recorded at the auction. Remember, this is...

Hon. Joseph Munyoro (Kigumo, UDA) Even after listening to the Hon. Member for Gatundu South, Hon. Kagombe, I remain opposed because we represent small-scale farmers. Our worry is that someone will come and decide to appoint 20 board members, or whatever number they wish. That cost is borne by farmers....
