    "content": "formula, the solution they found was to cut the margin of the oil marketers. A recommendation should have come of a complete restructuring of the wholesale and retail petroleum fuel pump prices formula to ensure that all taxes and levies do not exceed 30 per cent of the pump price. I want the House to listen to me. When the Bill comes, all the levies and taxes that we are going to charge petroleum products must not exceed 30 per cent of the sale price. They are now over 50 per cent. We must reduce VAT on LPG to zero. Liquefied Petroleum Gas must be zero- rated. It was only done in the last Finance Bill. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am shocked, and this is a matter for the Committee on Procedure to look at. A Committee of this House has made a self-action recommendation where it is telling the National Assembly to amend the relevant laws, including the Petroleum Development Levy. Who is the National Assembly? Is it not us? To be more specific, the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning is the relevant Committee of this House. In my view, self-actions and recommendations are keen to talking to ourselves. Let us not play to the gallery. Let us not listen to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). We must reduce levies and taxes on petroleum products by 30 per cent."
