Members of parliament have threatened to shoot down the supplementary budget presented by the Ministry of Finance today.

The Legislators claim that treasury in tabling supplementary estimates should be informed based on what should have accrued from taxes if parliament had passed Finance Bill 2011-2012. They now want the supplementary estimates to be passed based on Finance Bill 2010-11 which is law unlike basing it on the new bill which has not been passed.

Assistant Finance Minister Oburu Odinga  who was put to task over the delayed bill asked to be given until Thursday but house speaker Kenneth Marende insisted he finalizes the bill tomorrow in readiness for the speakers ruling in the afternoon.

The move to reject the bill completely could see amendments made in the VAT rates kept pending. There was a proposal in the new bill to drop the 12 % VAT lower rate on residual fuel oils which could see prices of Cooking gas (LPG) drop.
