Chair, data becomes official after publication. Anything that happens before publication is still work in progress. And there is no one who can cancel national data that has been published and gazetted other than a court of law. So, we cannot indemnify data that has not been published. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

Hon. Speaker, I know the Chairperson understands zero about fish. He has described it as: “You can catch fish in Uganda then in Kisumu.” Fish is not camel that moves around everywhere.

Fish have somewhere they breed. After they breed, that is when you can catch them. If you have no knowledge of something, it is good to say you are not knowledgeable on it. I am sure the last time the Member ate fish was 10 years ago. Otherwise, his answer would not have been the same.

Thank you Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important matter. As has been said by my colleagues, Parliament must conduct its functions in accordance with the Constitution.

It is in one of your first rulings in the 11th Parliament. You said that a Member can stand in his place to seek guidance on a constitutional issue at any moment. I think this is one of the ...

It is for a fact that the Division of Revenue Bill is a Money Bill, under Article 109. What we intend to seek from you is where this Bill should originate from.

jurisdiction or mandate to originate a Division of Revenue Bill. I heard it with my own two ears. I wondered whether that man was really representing his client or he had decided to follow the Constitution. In fact, Senior Counsel Ngatia, in his submissions, said Senate does not have authority to originate a Money Bill. It is on record in the Supreme Court. If the client’s advocate has already agreed in court that they have no jurisdiction, I do not think we should continue addressing this. Coming down now, after I leave the constitutional issues so that you can interrogate ...

First, I thank the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for the efforts they have made to address this important issue. On the same line, I oppose the Bill completely.
