"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Mover of the Motion has just said that we do not need to pass the Finance Bill because they can use other instruments to collect taxes. I have been looking at Article 210 of the Constitution. It says:- âNo tax or licensing fee maybe imposed, waived or varied except as provided by legislation.â We pass the Finance Act every year to provide the legislative backing of taxation. The Provisional Order is set to lapse. If we believe in the rule of law, we should not go home without passing the necessary legislation, so that we can continue collecting taxes as has been proposed."
