    "content": "the Bill be amended by inserting the following new clause immediately after Clause 23- Amendment of 23A. Section 7 of the Excise Duty Act is amended by inserting the following new section 7 of No.2 of subsection immediately after subsection (3)- 2015. (3A). A notice under subsection (2) of this section shall be laid before the National Assembly without unreasonable delay, and a resolution may be passed by the National Assembly within 21 days on which it next sits after the notice is so laid, that the notice – (i) be approved; or (ii) be annulled and it shall thenceforth be void, but without prejudice to the validity of anything previously done thereunder, or to the issuing of a new notice. Just to explain this, as I said in the Second Reading, this is on remission. I have just moved that it be read a Second Time since it is a new clause. This relates to the remission of duty on beer and wines. When the National Treasury or the Government wants to give remission on duty relating to beer or wine, that proposal must come to this House and get parliamentary approval. This is the same way we did with the Minimum Tax for the Kenya Airways. However, we must not allow the National Treasury to give remission of sin taxes. Therefore, I want to beg that Members support. This is giving power to the people’s representatives and not taking it away from them. It is also in support of Clause 20 that the Chairperson deleted relating to delegated legislation."
