Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, when the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade rose to speak, in fact, he contradicted himself by saying that the exemption is already provided under Section 38(2) of the parent Act. So, the current proposal for the amendment is purely strengthening that particular provision. It is not negating it.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, secondly, the Constitution is very clear. This matter has already found its way into the Order Paper. The Speaker was seated there. He never expressed himself or herself on this matter. The Constitution, in Article 114(2), only recognises the opinion of the Speaker, and not the opinion of hon. Duale. Hon. Duale owns no opinion. He owns only views, which the Speaker can rule on. So, there is nothing unconstitutional about this matter since the matter has already been ruled on by the Speaker. He has allowed it to appear on the Order Paper. He has ...

On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise on a point of order pursuant to Standing Order No.83 which allows a Member to rise on a point of order.

So, in terms of procedure, he had no capacity to drop because the Vice-Chairman had already moved. I ask ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, in fact, he says that because of multi-tasking and multi-walking, he lost it in the process. But he agrees that it needs to be recommitted.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, let me situate this matter correctly.
view
27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly:
May I situate this matter. Hon. Jakoyo is my very good friend and he normally listens to me. It is important for us to situate this matter correctly. Firstly, there is no amendment on NSSF Act under the Finance Bill, proposed by Government itself. So, to purport to introduce an amendment when there is none on the NSSF Act itself contravenes our own Standing Orders. The sponsoring Committee as you have correctly pointed out, is the Committee of Finance, Planning and Trade. Just like we were the sponsoring Committee on the miscellaneous amendments, if we wanted to reject any amendment ...
