    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am very delighted to notice this afternoon the quality of debate and the support by the Members on a matter that touches on us. My only disappointment is obviously that the whole essence of Parliament was about, “no taxation without representation” on matters finance. However, it does appear that the whole issue of taxation is a very difficult subject and most of the people would rather keep away than come and not be sure of what to say. However, I want to thank Hon. Gladys Wanga and her Committee because not all of them are finance people. They really got the grasp of the issues and the principles of fair taxation and you can see from the quality of the Report and the presentations. I really want to thank the Members who have endured this afternoon as we went through this. I am glad that this Bill will make it to the next step in the course of this mini-session so that we can, at least, open the door for other tribunals to now have their laws revised to accord with the ruling of the courts and Article 169 of the Constitution by placing them at the Judiciary. This is really a test case. If we get this one right, all the others should follow quite easily. I am happy that the Hon. Members have supported this Bill so well this afternoon. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank you for your patience on this matter, and our technical team for being there for us today. With those remarks, I beg to reply."
