27 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the rationale of this is that Excise Duty on fruits was at 7 per cent. It was raised to Kshs10 per litre for two main reasons, namely, to raise revenue and to finance the 2014/2015 Budget Expenditure and the Division of Revenue. It is very important for the House to hear that the Budget process is a function of this House. When you pass the Division of Revenue Bill and the Budget Estimates, any revenue that is projected to finance that Budget must be sustained. The House cannot have the leeway to give with one hand ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I have absolute respect for Hon. Jakoyo and the leadership of this House. As leaders, it is not good to mislead. The House Business Committee (HBC) met on Tuesday last week. I was in attendance and so was Hon. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

Jakoyo. Hon. Mwadeghu was not able to attend, but a number of Members here attended. Today’s matter on Excise Duty was approved by HBC. The Order Paper was submitted before the Supplementary Order Paper had this agenda. So, the matter before us is the application of Article 115 of the Constitution on Presidential Referral and Assent. A serious Communication, which is on record in this House, has been given by the substantive Speaker. Let us not turn the House into something else. Let us debate and, if we get the numbers, we will vote.

Yes, Hon. Speaker. Now that you are here, I want to state very clearly and go on record that this matter was canvassed. I am sure the records of the House like the HANSARD will bear me out. At a later stage, specifically on 25th June 2015, you gave a very comprehensive communication. I do not expect the Speaker to give another ruling on the same matter. Hon. Speaker, the matter before us is the application of the subtitle “Presidential assent and referral” of Article 115 of the Constitution. We must speak to the nation and the rule of law. ...

27 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
In my opinion, the determination of this matter was done a long time ago. This afternoon is a very sad day for me. This is because, procedurally, the precedent and practice of all parliaments is that once a matter has been decided, the option for us legislators is to see whether we can amend Article 115 of the Constitution. Article 115 is at the end of the legislative chapter of this Constitution. In fact, it is good to read Article 118. I was very sad when my good friend, Hon. Chris Wamalwa made a very serious allegation. He said: “Let ...

For the Bill that we brought to this House under my signature, we agreed with the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade on a number of issues. We disagreed with the Executive. Now, it is not always that we must finally agree with Parliament. Where is it written? We can disagree with Parliament and agree with the President. I rest my case. I urge my colleagues to let us move ahead.
