If we reduce the price of wine, this will discourage the locals from drinking chang'aa and busaa . The Minister should also understand that by reducing the taxes, people will drink more and we will collect more taxes. The locals will divert from drinking chang'aa . In the process, we will be a wine-drinking nation as opposed to a nation that drinks some harmful local brews. I would like to inform the Minister that we will be collecting more revenue. In the past, we all know that when taxes are reduced, business people collect more revenue."}
