"content": " Thank you. I stand to second the Value-Added Tax (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.11 of 2025). This is a very small amendment that is rectifying what happened in the Tax (Amendment) Act that we passed in December. It is very controversial, but also a necessity because it is helping manufacturing by big investors who have put faith and decided to take the risk of investing in our country. It is part of the incentives that are being offered to big investors who have invested huge sums of money so that they can put up industries in our country. As you know, the manufacturing sector is not doing very well in the country at the moment. It is at 3 per cent. With those kinds of incentives, we expect manufacturers to be enticed to invest more money to create jobs for our people. With those few remarks, I second."
