Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to thank all the Members who have contributed — those in support and those opposing — all for a good reason. All we need to understand is thi; even for those that oppose the Motion for agreement with the Senate, what you want to achieve will be easier achieved through agreement and not by opposing. If you oppose, as the Leader of the Majority, the Leader of the Minority and Hon. Odhiambo-Mabona eloquently explained, you will be taking this into a very protracted process and you will be punishing the people of Nairobi. Therefore, ...

I said it is about offering higher incentives to people who will provide information about people who are either evading tax or avoiding in an ingenious way that may be construed as evading. This country is confronted by a very serious problem of revenues going down. We must encourage people to provide information to Kenya Revenue Authority. I will be offering information about Hon.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. As I support the constitutional issues raised by Hon. Otiende, the surest way to introduce anarchy into an economy is through such amendments. This principle in the law called force majeure touches almost in every contract from financial contracts to commercial contracts. This is so heavy that I beg the Chair to drop it.

If you look at the amendments consequent to this one they touch on the Banking Act, Sacco Societies Act and many ...
