    "content": "There is also a provision in the Bill which states that, in the appointment of the members of the Tribunal who will be 15 and above, we should not only appoint lawyers because the tribunal is in the Judiciary. We should appoint technical people because tax laws go beyond legal matters. Some are financial matters and we will have people like Hon. Mbadi, who is a very well-known accountant and finance person, sitting in the tribunal. That is very important. I urge my colleagues in this House that for the sake of all of us and to broaden the tax base in this country, let us fully support this Bill and pass it as soon as possible. Once we have passed it, we will request the Leader of the Majority Party to take it to the President for assent so that it is operationalised as soon as possible. Even if we have that period, we would like this Bill to start working as soon as possible. I support the Bill 100 per cent."
