"content": " Thank you. I just want to inform the Member for Navakholo that the proposal by the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury to remove the power to tax from this House in regard to VAT is actually unconstitutional because the power to tax is the very soul of Parliament. It is the sovereignty of the people. That is why the people sent us here as Members of Parliament to debate on the taxes on the people. So, for him to even imagine and contemplate that he can take away that power from this Parliament, in itself, is unconstitutional. So, you are very right that the Cabinet Secretary can be censored for even making that attempt."
