• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am saying that I am opposing that amendment. I am opposing it because it is restricting the definition only to professional health services. I am saying that we know that, in view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think we need to go point by point so that this point is made clear. view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, first of all, I wish to thank you. As I said, we just need to look at what the Committee is proposing. If you look at Clause 8(a), they propose to delete paragraph 2. We have said that paragraph 2 is about financial assistance. So, according to the Constitution, what is not prohibited is allowed. In fact, they are allowing financial assistance. Let us go back to the bit on deleting part “c” which is about demonstrating the use of a designated or complementary food product. Again, going by the rules of interpretation, what is ... view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I thank Mr. Charles Keter for this very important amendment.

However, the only problem is that you cannot know when a gift is an inducement or not. If only there was an inducement meter, then we would agree with him and measure what is inducement or not. Although this was well intended, I oppose it. view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I oppose the amendment. The reasons have been stated very clearly by the Deputy Speaker. view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we must oppose the amendment by the Chair of the Departmental Committee because if we agree to it, it will become impossible for us to implement the law that we are making. If we delete paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Clause, it makes nonsense of the law we are making. So, we must, really, oppose the amendment. view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I have looked at the Minister’s amendments and the Chairman of the Committee’s amendments and actually they are almost the same. In fact, on Sub-Section (6) on what the Minister was saying is actually there. It reads:- “If no resolution is made by the National Assembly within expiry of 21 days from the date which the National Assembly next sits from the date on which the regulation is laid under Sub-section 3, the regulations shall come into operation in the form laid before the National Assembly under Sub-section 3.” So, I think we give the ... view
