“Every order made under subsection (1) shall be laid before the National Assembly without unreasonable delay,” reads Section (2) of the VAT Act. National Assembly Minority Leader John Mbadi has supported the measures announced by the president. Besides the stimulus package, MPs will have to consider the report of the nominees to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) before April 7. Unlike the VAT Act, these changes require substantive amendments to the respective laws. There was also the appropriation of an additional Sh10 billion to be effected by the National Assembly.
