    "content": " Bwana, I am a Member of Parliament for Emuhaya Constituency. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank Hon. Members who sat through the sittings since yesterday. They participated well and the debate was good. Some clauses, for instance, the clause on limiting of the Private Members space did not require a lengthy debate this afternoon. Its debate had been exhausted yesterday. Again, today many Members, including the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committees sat through out to follow the proceedings. The contributions made were from across the aisle, which was very good. That means that the Finance Bill is acceptable to the entire House. There was a lot of consultation and public participation, and the people’s views were put into consideration. Therefore, I want to thank the Members for a job well done. Indeed, like the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning indicated, the Finance Bill should not only be a tax raising measure, but should also direct policy. Our economy needs to be resilient so that we can go for the vertical expansion of the tax space. However, for now, we will deal with the horizontal bit so that we can build resilience for our economy. I support."
