    "content": "Hon. Members, before I propose the Question I think the point raised by Hon. John Mbadi is extremely important for this House to appreciate. Once again, I am happy that Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ is in the House, as a senior Member of the Procedure and House Rules Committee. What has been stated by Hon. John Mbadi is important for this House to know. The courts ruled that the Provisional Collection of Taxes Act of 1959 is unconstitutional in the context of our current Constitution. That is the law that allowed the Government to provisionally collect taxes up to the end of December of each succeeding year. But now with that court ruling, we must move with speed to even have it repealed and whatever is relevant in it be incorporated in the PFM Act. It is also important for Hon. Kajwang’ and Hon. Soipan, in the Procedure and House Rules Committee, to also consider the suitability of Standing Order 245(4), which talks of passing the Finance Bill not later than 90 days of the passage of the Appropriations Bill."
