    "content": "Secondly, the proposal regarding the EPZ, where the Government wants part of the products sold locally, will go a long way in strengthening our industrialization issues. I welcome the 50 per cent of those items on the local market. I am not sure about the 2.5 per cent Custom Duty. Maybe, we can re-visit that aspect. Erecting toll stations on roads is a new way of doing business. I have been to South Africa and China, where many roads are managed through toll stations at every 100 kilometres. However, as we introduce toll stations, we must be very careful to ensure that people are not over-charged on those highways. Also, there should be proper management of toll stations. The Government is also going to tax solar energy batteries and tractors. This is an area we need to look at properly because we might be negatively impacting the agriculture sector indirectly. We may be causing a reduction in food production in this country. Therefore, we need to re-visit the issue of taxing tractors and, maybe, explore other ways of generating the revenue."
