    "content": " Thank you, Hon Speaker, for this opportunity. At the outset, I support this Bill. I support it because my constituency is a beneficiary of a project of 147 kilometres of tarmac. And I have made requests for more roads. I will be insincere to stand in this House and say that the Budget should not be financed. On the matter of housing, this is not a new project, but one that existed in the previous regime. It is here with us now. I encourage all our colleagues to support this Bill. I support the housing programme because it is going to keep the young people busy through provision of labour, and provision of construction materials, among other things. We cannot continue importing what we can produce in this country. We are importing toothpicks. We cannot continue doing so. We need to give our country a chance to produce steel wool from our iron ore and other products. The products can be manufactured and packaged locally for the benefit of the youth. This will keep the youth busy, so that they can forget about alcohol and all other ills. Every Government must take digital marketing very seriously and harness it. The Finance Bill has already taken care of that. Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, pay per click, social media marketing and email marketing must be taxed. The digital content being produced by the young people is because our cities are clean and lawns are beautiful that the young people can produce good videos that sell. I do not see any problem with imposing a small fee of 3 per cent as has been suggested. I support this Bill because of the title deeds, roads, electricity and everything we are asking he Government. We must finance development."
