• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we are proceeding in such a way that only a few Members are being carried on board. Some Members know what is happening. It is important that for every amendment, we are told its import so that we can all participate. view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support this amendment. Many people are afraid of paying taxes particularly if they have overpaid. If they are assured that they will be paid within two years, and that if the payment is delayed, then they will get some interest on it that is a good way to go. This is because it works both ways.

• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it is not quite clear--- view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon.

• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to seek for guidance. view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I seek for guidance from the Chair because two very important issues have been raised. On one hand, there is the benefit that seems to accrue to our farmers while on the other hand, we seem to be going against the Constitution. To help members move forward, there is need for guidance on that issue of the constitutionality of the new clause. view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I do tend to agree with what the Leader of the Majority Party and the Hon. Member have just said. It seems we are basing the fact that this is not constitutional because of a law that existed before. If that law at that time was unconstitutional and had not been challenged, that does not make it constitutional. What is being contested is the power that is being given to the Cabinet Secretary. I do not see anybody saying it is wrong for those products to be exempted. The only issue is the power being given ... view
