"content": " Do I proceed? Hon. Chairlady, I want to add my voice to this proposed amendment by Hon. Robert Mbui. I support it. If we fail to delete this Clause and remove these taxes, we, as a House, shall have succeeded in condemning those young entrepreneurs who have chosen to invest in commercial vehicles. We will punish them for choosing to be risk-takers and investing their hard-earned cash in commercial vehicles. I, therefore, urge Members that the only recourse that we have to right this wrong is supporting Hon. Robert Mbui’s proposed amendments. Otherwise, this whole thing will make a joke of our commitment, as a country, to support small and upcoming businesses, entrepreneurs and risk-takers. If we support them, they can contribute immensely to the economic development of this country. Indeed, they can create numerous employment opportunities for our youth who are wallowing in unemployment that has now reached alarming proportions."
