    "content": "Order, hon. Members. I have listened to the point of order raised by the Member for Ikolomani as supported by the Member for Yatta and the Member for Dujis. I wish to state that I am awake to those concerns as raised with respect to Order No.9 appearing on the Order Paper today. I further wish to assert that I have acquainted myself with the various proposals that are carried in the Value Added Tax Bill, 2012 which was published on 14th June, 2012. As things stand now, I need not give any further directions. I need not make any finding or make any ruling because the business at Order No.9, just like those at Orders Nos.8, 10 and 11, has been stood down. Obviously, at this point in time the attention of the Executive and in particular the Minister for Finance is acutely drawn to those concerns with respect to the raft of measures that he proposes to implement by the passage of this Bill. So, I wish to take this opportunity to draw the attention of the Minister to those very grave matters so that as much as possible, he does not leave this House in that uncomfortable position of having to decide whether or not this Bill is constitutional. I want to hope that we will be saved that pain and trouble."
