    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, as I indicated while moving this amendment, looking at Clause 27, together with Clauses 5 and 10, you will note that they are exactly in the same text and refer to the three tax Acts: the Value Added Tax Act, the Income Tax Act, and the Customs and Excise Act. This House has already passed Clauses 5 and 10. We are now on Clause 27, which basically touches on the third Act, and gives the same power. So, debating this amendment when we have already decided on the other two, is actually tantamount to challenging our own decision in passing the amendments to Clauses 5 and 10. So, I would urge Mr. Kajwang to withdraw his amendment on the basis that we have already set a precedent by granting that power under the VAT Act and the Customs and Excise Act, and we are now granting the same power under the Income Tax Act. 4404 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 9, 2007"
