    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to be corrected. The three arms of the Government include the National Assembly. So, there is the Executive, us and the Judiciary and all of us have a role to play in building this nation. On Order No.9 which introduces the VAT Bill, 2012, in our view, certain procedures have not been followed. Article 118(b) of the Constitution says that Parliament shall facilitate public participation and involvement in the legislative and other businesses of Parliament and its Committees. Even where the matter has not been to Parliament, Parliament is expected to ensure that the Executive, before bringing a Bill, has ensured there is participation out there."
