• 9 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the rationale behind that proposal is that the Minister is targeting a particular brand for reduction, almost for zero-rating, and disadvantaging a local industry in favour of a multinational company. That is the reason why the taxation should remain what it has always been. view
• 9 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I did not expect the Minister to spread rumours. What he is alleging is that a company, where I am the Chairman, Spectre International, is a client of Keroche Industries. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to inform him that the molasses plant produces what is called extra neutral alcohol which Keroche cannot buy because it is very expensive. Keroche buys its products from Muhoroni Sugar Company, a Government-owned company. Keroche Industries has never bought a litre from Spectre International. Therefore, that is just a rumour. In fact, if he November 9, 2006 ... view
• 9 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 25. I am proposing this because it is in relation to the Capital Gains Tax. This tax, even though the Minister says that it is going to apply to the rich, our Committee beliefs that it is going to harm the poor. This is because it is the poor who rent houses. Once the price of houses goes up the poor will have to pay higher rents, because the rich will not absolve the higher cost of houses. Therefore, I propose that this ... view
• 9 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 32. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we had proposed that we delete the whole clause. view
• 9 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we are proposing deletion of this clause because just like capital gains it was going to have an effect on housing and the source of any other property. So, for the same reasons we propose deletion of capital gains, we are also proposing deletion of this one. view
• 9 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 37. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we proposed that this clause be deleted because it is November 9, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3573 affecting constitutional offices and in our view, by deducting their allowances, this is going to have an effect of actually reducing their benefits, which in the Constitution is not prudent. It is because of this that we are proposing that this clause be deleted. view
• 9 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, on behalf of Mr. Oparanya, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 42 be deleted. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this is a clause relating to the amendment of the Insurance Act. We are of the view that all proposals for amendment of the Insurance Act should come to this House properly under the Insurance (Amendment) Bill, so that hon. Members can have an opportunity to debate them properly, instead of bringing them here piecemeal by sneaking November 9, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3575 them into the Finance Bill, 2006. This is a way of denying hon. ... view
• 9 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 44. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we are proposing the deletion of this clause for the same reasons we have given for the deletion of clauses 42 and 43. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we want this clause to come appropriately in order to give hon. Members an opportunity to scrutinise and discuss it. view
• 9 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 45. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we are proposing the deletion of this particular clause for the same reasons we advanced for the other clauses this evening. view
• 9 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 46. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we are proposing the deletion of this clause for the same reasons we have given for the other clauses. view
