    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second the Motion. The Chairman has substantially covered what the Committee considered in reaching the decision that is before this House save to add that the Committee was also satisfied that after the Regulations were brought before the Committee and published, there was no complaint from any player in the area of digital market and internet with regard to the Regulations. In that case, the Committee also looked at the public participation that was done by the regulatory making authority and we were satisfied that all the parameters that were supposed to be considered by the Committee on Delegated Legislation were met and fully satisfied. I must buttress that these Regulations are supposed to capture people who have been operating within the digital market and paying nothing to the coffers of Government through the regime of the Value Added Tax. These Regulations now seek to net and bring them under the same level with the people who have not been operating within the digital space and the internet. There might not be much to say about this because the Committee on Delegated Legislation’s mandate is limited to making sure that the Regulations abide with the Constitution, the relevant statutes, and that public participation done. I confirm just as the Chairman moved, that the Committee did just that. Without much ado, I seek to support and second the Motion."
