    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise in support of this Bill. I think it is very important that we continue to grow the avenues of revenue collection. The reason is that, the smaller the net, the more we tax individuals. If you grow the net of revenue collection, we will tax the people less. Just like we noticed the other day that there was suggestion by the National Treasury to increase taxes on baby milk and such, we should find other avenues by growing the net out there by putting scanners at the borders and getting speed boats at our lakes and the Indian Ocean, we will collect more revenue hence reduce the amount we have put on the common mwananchi . The mother out there in Mukuru and other neighbourhoods cannot afford the new priced milk. They were buying the baby milk at a lower price. We need to grow the revenue net, the catchment area, so that we can tax our people less. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
