"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I rise to give my humble opinion on the issue of increasing tax levies on fuel, especially the VAT. Those that are privileged to have been in this House in 2018, and are now here know what happened to the economy when we raised taxes on fuel. We are reaping from what we did. As we speak, life is unbearable for citizens of this Republic. We cannot afford to increase levies on fuel because fuel is a catalyst for everything, from production to marketing, and the welfare of the people. I want to be on record that our people are currently suffering. Production, especially in our rural areas, will fall to zero if we increase taxes on fuel."
