    "content": " Hon. Chairlady, I do not have a problem with supporting this amendment. The problem is that the moment we remove the term “digital content monetisation”, we must make sure that the provision in law that provides for Withholding Tax for content creators also falls. So, if you ask me, I would support Hon. Nyikal’s amendment so that we are completely silent on the issues of digital content in terms of taxation so that we exclude this important sector, the digital content monetisation and what we call content creators and allow the young generation, people who are unemployed that are trying to eke a living. Hon. Chairlady, I would request the House to agree with this amendment so that we remove the digital content monetisation completely from this Finance Bill which therefore means when it comes to the withholding tax, which will come to 5 per cent, then that will not be considered at all, because we have already removed from the definition the digital content monetisation."
