    "content": "I come from a sugar growing region and I am disturbed that the local sugar will attract taxation yet, we know under the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) trade tariffs, they have zero-rated taxes on sugar. Are we perpetuating the interest of COMESA sugar to the detriment of our own? I have read that there will be VAT on insurance. Are we taxing accidents and injuries? These are some of the things we need to look into. Finally, there is the tax amnesty that has been taken back to December 2022. The law does not act retroactively, but moves forward. So, either there is something fishy with this tax amnesty or there are a few individuals who would want to escape the hangman’s noose when it comes to tax violations. Hon. Speaker, with that, I thank you for the opportunity."
