  • Hansard Report Is for Information Purposes Only
    August 19, 2021 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 1 PARLIAMENT OF KENYA THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY THE HANSARD Thursday, 19th August 2021 The House met at 2.30 p.m. [The Speaker (Hon. Justin Muturi) in the Chair] PRAYERS PETITIONS Hon. Speaker: Hon. Members, I have two petitions brought under Standing Order No. 225(2)(b) and they have been assessed pursuant to the provisions of Article 119 of the Constitution. ZERO RATING OF FARM EQUIPMENT AND MACHINERY Therefore, in this regard, I wish to report to the House that my office received a petition signed by Mr. Taratisio Ireri Kawe of ID No. 8600483. The Petitioner is concerned that the country’s food production is heavily reliant on rainfall patterns which have become quite unreliable in the recent past. Given the circumstances, the Petitioner observes that food security is not sustainable unless immediate action is taken to protect the environment and conserve water. The Petitioner is appalled that most citizens have drifted into abject poverty due to lack of an enabling environment that ensures sustainable agricultural production at reduced and competitive importation of farm produce from neighbouring countries. Hon. Members, the Petitioner notes that majority of poor Kenyans cannot afford to purchase equipment for the construction of pans and for harvesting rain water to ensure sustainable irrigation systems and to reduce reliance on the seasonal rains. He, therefore, proposes complete zero rating of taxes on water tanks, farming equipment and tools. The Petitioner is cognisant of the fact that although it may seem that the Government may lose revenue due to the gap created by the failure to tax the equipment and machinery, the Government is bound to benefit from more taxes collected through agribusiness.
