    "content": " On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am not a landlord but as the Leader of the Majority Party and Hon. Otiende have alluded, before we proceed you need to make a ruling as the Chair. You cannot mix the Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill with cattle dip issues or add things into it. These are separate laws. The Law of Contract is separate from this. Unless the Chair comes next week on Wednesday with a COVID-19 Bill so that we can discuss whether he does not want people to pay rent or buy soap. If we go this way as Hon. Ichung’wah has said, we are going to introduce anarchy into this country. The Government did not help landlords to build their homes or their buildings. So, you cannot tell landlords not to collect rent because there is COVID. That cannot work in this country. This is a country which is in a transparent and liberal economy. So, if we legislate here that tenants should not pay rent... I asked him a question on when the COVID will end and he did not tell me. He told me the Government will decide when COVID will end. It is not the Government that brought COVID. So, how will they know when it is going to end? Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we cannot work like that."
