    "content": "I want to actually back the proposition that the Assistant Minister returns here with a more comprehensive answer, but then add that one of the issues that are critical and that one would wish to see when the Assistant Minister returns to the House, is on the question of levies. If you take an ordinary electricity bill even for domestic consumption, you will see a myriad of levies similar to the levies that Treasury attempted the other day. It is good that the Minister for Finance is in the House. Treasury attempted the other day to push all sorts of levies to basic stuff like maize meal and milk – basically the basic foodstuffs. Those are the kind of levies that you see on an electricity bill. I wish to point out that the Assistant Minister also comes to this House with a copy of an ordinary electricity consumption bill and just go through those levies and justify, perhaps, with the support of the Minister for Finance who is the in the House, just how reasonable they are. Whether we produce 10,000 megawattss, is it possible really to reduce the cost of electricity with those myriad levies that are not necessary?"
