    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am just concluding. My point is this: Article 114(2) of the Constitution requires that if, in the opinion of the Speaker of the National Assembly, a Motion makes a provision for a matter mentioned in the definition of a Money Bill, the Assembly may proceed only in accordance with the recommendations of the relevant committee of the Assembly after considering the views of the Cabinet Secretary responsible for Finance. That is the point. Has this proposed amendment to the Value Added Tax (VAT) Act, 2013 been taken through the relevant committee? Is there a report from the relevant committee? Has it received the concurrence or opinion of the Cabinet Secretary of the National Treasury and Economic Planning? That is the point. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the answer to this question is that it has not received it. Therefore, the business is before the House un-procedurally, even if it is not in today’s Order Paper."
