• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I support the approval of the Statutory Instrument in accordance with Section 67 of the VAT Act No.35 of 2013. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with all due respect to my colleague from Kiharu Constituency, this is a Report of the Committee that deals with VAT and not just the taxation generally. This is not a debate on taxation. This is a Report of the Committee where we want to approve or disapprove VAT (Amendment) Regulations. view
• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: So, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, on the issue of relevance, I would like to urge that we just concentrate on what is on the Order Paper. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I am the Deputy Leader of the Minority Party. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am standing under the Standing Order No.95. Looking at the mood of the House, would I be in order to ask that the Mover Mover be called upon to reply after the Member finishes his contribution? This is also guided by the fact that we have a lot of other reports that we should finish by the end of the day. view
• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to second the Report that seeks to annul the PSC Regulations, 2019. Much as I am standing to support the annulment, I must begin by mentioning the positives, because there is always a positive in every regulation. The positive is the purpose of these regulations. The purpose is to operationalise the PSC Act, 2017 by giving effect to the mandate of the commission, pursuant to Section 92. The regulations also provide a framework to assist in the better running of public service. So, basically it is an excellent idea. We have noticed ... view

• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: When you scrutinise these regulations and look at them against the Statutory Instruments Act, which guides the Committee on Delegated Legislation, then you find that there are some provisions that we cannot support. That is the reason for the annulment. Let me talk about the observations of the Committee. The first observation was the issue of consultation and public participation. Articles 10 and 118 of the Constitution are very clear that there must be adequate public participation. We are looking in the future to have a law on exactly what constitutes public participation. In the eyes of the Committee, we ... view
• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I second the Motion that this House adopts the Report of the Committee to annul Section 18 of the Political Parties (Funding) Regulations, 2019. We had quite a number of reports and out of the four, we are proposing to annul three. I can remember one time we were in a Committee meeting and a Chair of a Committee, which I do not wish to name, said that this seems to be an annulling Committee. He was especially shocked by our use of the words “annul in its entirety”. This is because we are ... view

• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: scrutiny, publication and operation of statutory instruments and for matters connected therewith. It would be important to identify what a statutory instrument is. This House has passed many laws and the Statutory Instruments Act is very clear. The law provides that it is any rule, order, regulation, direction, form, tariffs of costs or fees, letters patented, commissions, warrant, proclamation, by-law, resolution or guideline form statutory instruments. So, it is unfortunate that a lot of times the authorities forget what a statutory instrument is. We follow Section 13 which gives us a guide on the relevant considerations that the Committee must ... view
