"content": " You must listen to us, because even if you use the majority to pass this Bill, there are courts. Even if you deal with the courts, there are the people who are sovereign. My two closing remarks are: One, you cannot have a situation where you are bringing the housing tax here. I want to invite you to note that first of all, under Schedule Six, the role of housing is for the counties and not the National Government. I invite you to look at Clause 8(d). The National Government is only to do the housing policy. Therefore, when you bring in the question of housing and introducing the tax, you are amending the Constitution through the backdoor. It also means that this Bill should go to the Senate because the Senate must have a role in anything that affects the counties. That is a point that you need to bear in mind."
