    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, now that you have ruled that there is no issue of unconstitutionality; will you allow me to go on record? I do not want you to change your ruling. My problem is about giving the powers of this House to the CS. Was it there? When the Excise Bill was being passed in this House, that unconstitutionality was done. Up to now you are saying that the CS has been given powers to make policy decisions on matters of waiver, remission and variation. The people from the National Treasury watching me will understand that there is a serious issue here. The issue of waiver, levy and variation is only achieved with prior approval of the National Assembly. That is why the Chair should give guidance. Hon. Chair you should not take this matter lightly. Even if you did it previously, through the Bill, two wrongs do not make a right. Secondly, you should allow us to consult and see whether we can introduce a further amendment that can take care of the CS’ rights and the Constitution."
