    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to thank and congratulate the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. The Committee has done a very good job. In fact, this time, the Bill provides a lot of incentivisation for producers, farmers and more importantly, transporters. I would like to talk about the construction industry. By reducing the Export and Investment Promotion Levy from 17.5 to 10 per cent, the cost of cement, clinker and steel will go down. This will create many jobs in the construction industry. More importantly, the Bill has also proposed a number of incentives to the software industry that will promote the production and assembling of software devices. I shall be proposing a number of amendments, especially on how to incentivise tea packaging, how to enable the tea farmer to get enough money and also to promote the export of tea in this country and across the globe. I support this Bill and I ask the House to give the correct information about the Finance Bill, 2025 so that the public can get to know and read the right figures and not to be wrongfully informed through social media."
