• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: The way it is phrased, it talks about the period within which the dispute will be resolved. However, what he is saying and what the Majority Leader is saying, which is correct, is that after the dispute has been settled, the payment should be done within 90 days. So, we need to recast his amendment so that, that is very clear. view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Chairlady. I think that has been taken care of. Number one, when somebody goes for a warrant, he has to explain to the court why he is looking for it. So, if he is going for the second time, the court should be able to show that this fellow may have gone there the first time. Yes, there could be a reason why a Commissioner would come a second time with legitimate reasons. However, number three, when somebody secures a warrant for a limited period of time, then that meets the threshold of the ... view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I am also rising to talk on the backdating. This is the point at which I differ with my friend from Suba and as he always reminds us: When you are a financial expert, stick to financial expertise. Now, there is something called retroactivity. You cannot subject a person to something which was not law at the time that it--- This is particularly if it causes pecuniary effect. It used to be the law before the new Constitution. The Constitution has now come up with that, you cannot have a law which has a retrospective effect. So, what ... view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I rise on a point of order. There is something which is coming, particularly on Finance Bill which is worrying me. That many amendments do not appear in the Order Paper or the Supplementary Order Paper. Many of them are passed through this window here from the civil servants. These are the ways where we find amendments which come and pass us and by the time we realize it, we have not reflected on them. So, I think that the amendments which we need to look at should be the amendments which appear on the Order Paper that ... view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Alright. The amendment has been moved. Hon. Members, you will have the right to either negate or pass it when we put it to vote. If it may appear not procedural, your vote will show it. So, you can allow me to propose the Question. When I propose the Question, you can make that decision. Can we clearly have the amendment? Members are entitled to the text. view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: ( Hon. Members consulted loudly) Just a minute! Can the Chair recite clearly so that hon. Members know what you are talking about? They have a right to know. view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: No, no! You can make it the third time or fourth time provided hon. Members are very clear. view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Well I do not want to stifle debate. The points that Members are raising are legitimate, in my view. Members have not known the text of the amendment before us because this is the Custom and Excise Act. So, they do not want to be caught unawares that they are moving something which will cause them problems later on. Can you tell them whether you are removing or inserting the words “or wooden or metal containers” after the word “bottle”? You are including the words “wooden and metal containers”. That is the effect of this so that they do not ... view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Nyikal, can you be the last voice I hear on this? view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: We appreciate that, hon. Nyikal. With the comments that have come from the Chair, I think we understand now where we are going. I propose the Question--- view
