• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the local authorities require the 20 per cent for their general fund. That is the only money that is retained by them out of the cess that is collected. As I said, 80 per cent of the cess is passed over. If the hon. Member has any specific problem maybe from Muhoroni, he can direct it to the Ministry and we will sort it out, in conjunction with the Ministry of Roads and Public Works. view
• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think it is important for the House to understand that construction of roads is fairly expensive. So, if you can get money from all corners, that is the best for any hon. Member or for any area. The issue of crop cess is a small tax levied on farmers and the money goes to the local authorities. So, we do not, as a Government, see why this tax should not be levied. view
• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that does not appear to have been part of the Question. However, if that information is required, I can provide it to the House or circulate it to the hon. Member. view
• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the question by Mr. Syongo. I have already instructed the PS to the Ministry to prepare that particular list. I believe that list will be here before the House adjourns and I will be able to table it. view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I just wanted to add one more thing. The Commission draws some funding from the Consolidated Fund. I am supporting the amendment by the Attorney-General because that funding has to fall under a Ministry. Therefore, I want to support the amendment by the Attorney-General. The independence of the Commission is guaranteed under the Act; so, that should not be a worry to anybody. view
