Members, before we go to Order No.9, I wish to give this communication as a way of guidance on consideration of the proposed amendments to the Finance Bill (National Assembly Bill No.20 of 2018). As you are aware, Article 114(2) of the Constitution provides that if, in the view or opinion of the Speaker, a Motion makes provision for matters listed in the definition of a money Bill, the Assembly may proceed only in accordance with the recommendation of the relevant committee after considering the views of the Cabinet Secretary responsible for finance. In this regard, my office has received several proposed amendments to the Finance Bill, 2018, both from the chairpersons of committees and individual Members, some of which make provision for matters listed in the definition of a money Bill, pursuant to the provisions of Article 114(2) of the Constitution. I, therefore, wish to give the following guidance to the House with regard to the various amendments proposed, for which a disclaimer has been made in the Order Paper. For ease of reference, the following are proposed amendments to which the disclaimers relate: 1. The one proposed by the Member for Kikuyu, Hon. Ichung’wah, to amend the Bill by inserting a new Clause 10A.

Ichung’wah has acceded to. That amendment, therefore, may be considered in the Committee of the whole House. 2. The proposed amendment by the Member for Bomet Central, Hon. Ronald Tonui, to delete Clauses 56, 58 and 68.
