    "content": "status of the same person. You cannot create a law that only ensures that one particular individual or entity of business thrives at the expense of others. Whereas one would want to forgive the drafters of this Bill for imagining that if you removed taxes on locally manufactured sanitary towels, they would have cured the problem. I have talked to my daughters in the house. They tell me that the sanitary towels they use are all imported. In other words, when you see young girls going to the streets and asking us, ‘ Wasinyeshe” – and they are wondering whether they should not have their monthly periods - they mean it is because you are making their life unbearable. I want to pick on an issue here based on Schedule 4. If you look at all the taxes under this Schedule, like telephone, they are meant to help improve businesses. If we are imposing taxes on them and yet the business community is under-performing, how do we intend to raise money? If this country cannot mobilise savings, then we would rather shut up and close it. With all due respect, I am asking the drafters of this Bill, particularly the Chairman, if he wanted to help the country through all the fundamental changes he has made, then the Bill loses its original form. He should have withdrawn the Bill and given us another one. Hon. Speaker, I oppose."
