This is shocking from KK...they don't even understand what they are proposing.

weak men create hard times!

Propose stupidity then bow to public pressure to claim credit- bure kabisa

The problem is most taxes ends up in osca sudis pocket

Pads we don't consider the cheaper ones quality is very important & that's why we boycotted Always!!!

I can’t understand a damn thing this chairman is trying to explain. Incompetence I agree with mbadi on this

We'll be outside this whole week.... we've seen nothing on data protection...nothing on expenditure of both high offices ..... nothing on debt audit

Kimani Kuria I am sorry, what are talking about? You want to promote local production, really! You are the same goverment that over taxes all the main inputs, such as power, inport taxes on materials for this manufacturing, fuel costs etc! We have great geothermal electricity potential, why can you not invest in such industries?

Protectionism can also lead to consumption of low quality highly priced local products and deny Kenyans the freedom of choice and variety.

The only word he knows to escape accountability is 'robust' discussion 🙄

Tell huyu kichwa maji wa uda. We will come for him very soon

Respect to Mbadi. These guy can't answer a simple yes or no, Kimani bana

Isn't he the same guy who publicly said that if kenyans cannot pay the vehicle circulation tax then they should abandon their cars and even went ahead and used the express way as an illustration talking about not all kenyans use it even though its available to them??!

This man Kuria Kimani is intelligent

Chairman Kuria didn't table the report of the finance committee but the report of the Kenya Kwanza PG under the chairmanship.

one cannot miss the point that all these are proposals while what will pass in the house is what was initially proposed. further more these few proposals that have caused public uproar are not the real deal.alot is hidden in plain sight....that is what will bite. God for all

Hon Kimani , thank you for debating Hon Mbadi. Brilliant performance.

I am compelled to invoke Isaiah 32:7-8 to the KK Government: "The scoundrel's (dishonest or unscrupulous) methods are wicked, he makes evil schemes to destroy the poor with lies, even when the plea of the needy is just. But the noble man makes noble plans, by noble deeds he stands." This government is wicked. I am ashamed i voted for wickedness. I apologize to Kenyans.

Kenyan manufactured products are expensive coz of cost of power and other inputs..

KURIA KIMANI is the embodiment that abig head does not neceesarily mean sense

You struggle when you are told to protect a lie or what you also don't believe.....The truth does not need protection...it will set you free

The ideals being put forward by Kimani Kuria are so idealistic. He's now talking of these Kenyans.

Kimani kuria must be eating from the same table with the devil himself...how can you be comfortable making life difficult for others

Mbandi are you also reading my mind, Kuria is saying that someone came from london and gave them the best lecture ,which means the financial Bill is a product from a lecture hall, they copied and pasted it as it is 🤣🤣🤣

The most useless finance committee chair (Extended Producer Responsibility) can be handled by private sector efficiently and is alays part of circular supply chain/ which is none of govt affain. Bure kabisa. inform him to reach out to me for lessons

So you know locally manufactured is more expensive? Moreover with diapers its not about price. Infact quality diapers end up cheaper in the long run. you use fewer because of high absorbency. Moreover you dont have treat rushes on the baby.

Pads are a scape goat pads are even distributed free their is a bigger problem with people putting all the taxes in their pockets

Wish Badi is the minister for Finance...Hawa tugege..too much

Towels on men's mouths on TV. Wow. This is a different era we live in

RUTO BOTS ALL OVER IN THE COMMENT SECTION. SAME TENSES, SAME CONJUCTIONS, ONE PERSON RUNNING THE BOTS 😅😅😅😅 YOU GUYS ARE SO DESPERATE 😅

Kimani is smart, but in his capacity he operates on "Power from Above" mode.I understand at 35yrs he's undertaking his PhD in Economics. Should he evade sycophancy of typical politicians he's a rich asset of this country.

Sam you had a great panel. Hon Kimani & Hon Mbadi, really a good debate. I have understood alot, I wish you could have done this earlier for Kenyans. Brilliant 👏🏾 gentlemen.

Air hostess ruto wasn't ready to be the president of Kenya

and this is the best brains in KK. wooooi. Mbadi educating Kimani Kuria since 19'200...

Why would you say,I want this Kenyans to understand this? Which Kenyans?

Kikuyus greediness will never make them reason like wise people. Politicizing everything even a simple question will not change a fact. Truth will set you free

Ability to produce diaper is one thing but the quality of the same product is questionable.

That is true becouse they can change it before it is tabled n diacussed in the house while gullible citizens cheer imagining KK is heeding to their needs

How can you say that by importing finished products we are exporting jobs and risking our currency stability, yet on the same hand increase cost of production and doing business, making manufacturers and industries flee? While also impoverishing the citizens to little or no disposable income to spend on the said goods?

Kenya kwanza just want to please Ruto not Kenyans and that's clear

Supports John mbadi point of view.the finance bill needs to be carefully revised and reviewed!it's immature and requires extensive debate from every Kenyan that it's gonna impact .

The current regime is clueless.Hon Kuria nas nothimg to tell us.We reject that bill totally.

Does this kuria use sanitary pads? We go for quality not cheaply manufactured prdt nktt

Where do Kenyans get their leaders? This man is such a cheerleader of Ruto that it's sad. How is this man a qualified accountant (CPA Kenya) Bure kabisa... Cost of doing business in Kenya is too high.

Kimani kuria making sense, these are the publicities lacking out there for public consumption. media, opposition and bloggers are twisting and painting alot of wrong things out there. opposition should be served with correct right of replies. good work young kimani kuria

Who told you Kenya has capacity to recycle plastic bottles??😂😂

This KK man doesn't understand anything and that's the problem ruto has, he's surrounded by incompetent people,only noise makers.

Kimani is no Scholar of any shade.His people should recall him.

This is not really what is happening on the ground. Why do we have many open quarries in Machakos and other parts of Kenya?

Kuria Kimani mumbling on words....ndio ujue watu ni warongo, ..2027 they are not coming back, all of them!

I love this anchor, very diligent, brilliant, & he asked the right question but more importantly, he didn't let the man off the hook. I think, he's not the right person to be explaining these taxes. He's not making any sense, particularly on the Eco tax..

Sasa huyu mlevi anasema nini

The toughest thing to do on this world is defending the position of undefendable Kk government.

Kindly remind me how much money border business from mandera to somalia and back used to pay. Many years ago.

Kimani Kuria, hope you understand protectionist principle. It can lead to a disadvantageous position for Kenya, if a country whose trade is affected by the decision decide to protect their industries from Kenyan exports, what happens to the excess production.

Sanitary towels are not bread or soap. Some people even developed allergies because of the material used. We are careful as women to stick to known and proven brands. So let's not talk as if women just look for the cheapest Sanitary towels.

CHLORIDE EXIDE vs AMARON BATTERY 😅 utanunua chloride 5 AMARON still the same so the quality hatuwezi

It is actually sad that Kuria Kimani, as chairman of the Finance and Planning committee, does not seem to know protectionism will not make locally manufactured products competitive. Or understand motor vehicle tax came from

You Bw.Kuria have the responsibilty to UNDERSTAND & EXPLAIN the documents that you present.If you do not unerstand it,please DO NOT PRESENT!

GOVERMENT TYPING AND DELETING TAX LAW

Have they incentivized the local manufacturers? NO. Apart from sanitary pads and diapers, other products like mobile phones, dry cells and tyres for locomotives? Where are the local brands for these? Where are incentives for local production for these before imposing eco levy for these? What is the policy objective for these levies? More levies which end up getting looted or environment?

Tariffs do not build an economy!! You have to create an environment that allows local manufacturers to build competitive products based on quality and price. It is either ignorant or stupid to rely on market protection in a capitalist economy. Go home bwana!

This is a short scam in the long run we will pay dearly 😅😅😅😅

Quality

This boy always gets himself on the shitty end of Ruto's financial bills.

If you want to deal with the ecological impact of imported products,then you may place a levy on such products as long as the Kenya govt.will then take care of any negative impact.

Shouldn’t there be a law to anchor the eco levy fund?

Sam Kituku, Kimani Kuria is not always on Citizen TV to correct your False information daily... continue feeding Kenyans with incorrect information to be incited

Cocola, the company that wants to leave our market like samsung and Techno! Everready died because of poor quality and mismanagement!

These are conmen, they're now pretending ungedhani io bill yao mbaya ilikua imported from Uganda😂...

Very controlled emotions..Well done kimani kuria

good job

Bro, we don't leave for ever. You have to create room for invocation and new leaders .The guy is right that any old person would like to use everlady battery which was the the battery we had sometime back but we don't need it anymore that was back then. We can't be thinking backwards

We want SIFUNA BACK TO THIS INTERVIEWS😢😢😢😢😢

Kimani is taking notes bure kabisa. God help kenyans not to repeat such a mistake they did in 2022

The bad decisions that have led to our local products not being competitive in the market include the meddling with the forces of production that have seen the price of electricity for example increase astronomically over the last few years making electric labor and thus the end product expensive. In agriculture, the cost of farm inputs is ridiculous compared to other neighboring countries. Cost of transport from farm to market is another thing, expensive fuel = expensive transport = expensive groceries making imports cheaper! The role of the government is to improve infrastructure that lowers costs of production! With that done, manufacturers will thrive = more profits = more jobs = more salaried people = more income and corporate tax collected.

Why do you call this MAFO on national TV ?

Quality matters...cheap is expensive. Remember BJ 50 from Laikipia expensive than Tuktuk but just a welded mabati.

ambieni kk ateme taxin, hiyo jaba imekuwa mingi sana

Oh boy, why do they put this young man in this tough spot?

Kuria kimani wacha kubeba kenyans ujinga. The eco levy must go out in its entirety. This is a mischievous tax that increases costs.

What is the work of ISO if you doubt a product manufactured in China, how will ours be trusted with that thinking Mr Kuria

What is this guy kimani talking about, l wonder how he become a chair of critical committee in republic of how resources are distributed

if Murkomen can recommend something on the transport sector and actually force the MPs to pass it like that , then Linthuri should also table a submissions to the committee to pass the law allowing fake fertilizers into the country.🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂😂

I am sure had it been it BEEN Azimio In power…. Woooooo

Eveready company in Nakuru died long time ago.

Check on quality like you did with the fertilizer? Schuuuup

This kagege was just planted there to be used by the power brokers.

tell that mumu man kimani that we do quality and reliability.

KBS as a government ageny has failed us all matters quality...

😮kuria

Has he just said page 500??? This people need to get serious

No SOLAR POWER IDEAS in KENYA EQUATOR.

That is not what Polluter Pay Principle means @Kimani, your definition is misleading to Kenyans. Or am I the one who doesn’t know?

Huyu kimani anakaa kunyesha ghasia yeye

How is this guy arguing? 😂😂😂😂😂

John mbudi is being petty, why not challenge the policy than keep asking where the policy came from. If the policy is not good point to it's weaknesses not just keep asking how it came from.

It’s the quality of what they produce you use 5 for 1 from India

Am a scholar and I like kimani kuria. He's eloquent

Was it 5 shillings or 10?
