Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I also want to add my voice on this Bill. People who are paying these taxes are the big investors in betting. Now, the small machines have been placed in all major towns and villages are not captured in any taxation. Therefore, I support that this clause be deleted. These people are paying corporate tax of 30 per cent and still pay another 7 per cent on the gross. It is important that these taxes are reviewed later on. The taxation started the other day. It would be appropriate to review that in the next financial ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. The Leader of the Majority Party has mentioned the independent candidates who want to participate in these EALA elections. I was wondering whether, as MPs, we can give them the signatures. He talked about 1,000 signatures. They can go to the constituencies and get 1,000 signatures. Can we, as Members, because some of us already have independent blood, give them the signatures as Members of Parliament? Even10? It is because they represent 100,000 signatures from my constituency. Is it possible that I can give that signature to the Members who want ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. When the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee stood up, I thought he was going to update this House on whether he has received a report from the Cabinet Secretary (CS) of the National Treasury concerning the proposal by the President to bring down the price of unga . Our people are really suffering.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I also want to oppose this clause. As my colleague has clearly put it, there is a way that a Gazette Notice can be framed without including all the names of these members. There is a statement which should be put into the Kenya Gazette to mention that these guys have been gazetted and they can be given a schedule. They could also check on the website, but a statement must be put in the KenyaGazette. Also, nobody has complained about the volumes. There is somebody who took to court pickups full of documents ...
