    "content": "On the amendment by hon. George Mallan Omondi to Clause 15 of the Finance Bill, 2013, my Committee again opposed the amendment to Clause 15(3) which seeks to delete the words “and 30 per cent of the tax in dispute.” However, my Committee proposed that Clause 15 of the Finance Bill, 2013 may be amended to provide that the payment of the 30 per cent of the tax in dispute should be limited to a period of 90 days. Hon. Speaker, therefore, my Committee is of the view - as I summarise - that the amendment proposed by the Member for Suba should not be admitted for consideration in the Committee of the Whole House. The amendments proposed by the Member for Rangwe should not be admitted for consideration in the Committee of the whole House. However, the amendment to Clause 18 be admitted. If the Member moves it, it should be amended to provide that and I quote: “The Commissioner may secure any premises for 48 hours where he is of the opinion that an offence under the Act is about to be committed prior to obtaining a search warrant.” Hon. Speaker, finally, the amendments proposed by the Member for Alego Usonga should not be admitted for consideration in the Committee of the whole House. However, the amendment may be admitted if the Member moves that Clause 15 of the Finance Bill, 2013 be amended to provide that the payment of and I quote “30 per cent of the disputed tax” should be limited to a period of 90 days. Hon. Speaker, I thank you."
