Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I also want to make my contributions and say that when it comes to minimum tax I also oppose. A case in point is the construction industry where you have to pre-finance the works. You pre-finance works. If you are taxed at the minimum and maybe you will be finishing that work in three years and you will make your profit towards the end, it is very hurting. I would like to ask the Chair of the Committee as Hon. Nyikal has said, that on this one, you need to reconsider. It is really going to ...

Asante sana, Bi Naibu Spika wa Muda, kwa kunipatia hii nafasi niseme machache. Mimi naona unafanana na Rais wa Tanzania aliyetutembelea hivi majuzi. Nakuombea mazuri hata wewe ukuwe Rais wa Kenya siku moja. Lingine ni kushukuru sana Rais wa Tanzania kwa kututembelea na kusema yale aliyosema katika Bunge letu. Kutembea kwake hapa Kenya kutawezesha kuimarisha biashara kati ya watu wa Kenya na watu wa Tanzania. Tunawajua Watanzania kama wafanyabiashara kama Wakenya wenzetu. Na wanajulikana sana.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I want to thank the Committee for doing a great job.

One of the challenges we have with the media currently is that sometimes journalists are paid on what they submit to those media stations. And unless you get to the headline, the way to get to the headline is to submit negative news; it is ...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have been here since 10.00 a.m. As a mathematician, I have tried to calculate. When you allow every Member to contribute for 15 minutes, it means only four members can contribute within one hour. If we are to run from 10.00 a.m. to 1.00 p.m. and 2.30 p.m. to 7.00 p.m., it means only 30 members will contribute. Since this is a very critical Bill, I am proposing that, as the House leadership, you find a way of allocating us, as individual Members, specific times when we can come to speak. ...
