(Dr) Ojiambo Oundo","speaker":null,"content":" Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I can see the good intention of the Committee, as pronounced through the Chairperson. However, I am afraid the issue of tax incentives is clearly stipulated in the Constitution and Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. I do not know under what powers can a Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury grant tax incentives, unless it is done through the Finance Bill. I can see that we are going to run into constitutional headwinds or have a superfluous clause that cannot be implemented. Probably, the legal team can advise the Chairperson who can consequently advise us. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady."}
