"content": " Thank you Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. As I present my thoughts to this august House, I support the Bill. At Independence, our founding fathers had a conversation on how to move our newly independent countries forward. They discussed how to develop a philosophy not purely founded on Western capitalism or Eastern socialism, but they looked at what they called African democratic socialism. It had three themes. First, they wanted to develop Africa with equitable economic development. Second, they talked about an inclusive formation of our social structure. They also developed three strategic philosophies that informed our Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965. As they addressed a Finance Bill like we are doing today, they talked about how to build an economy that will promote self-reliance, national unity, and national development by pooling our resources."
