    "content": "Let me, first of all, take this opportunity to thank hon. Members of this august House for all the support they have given me. I move that Clause 28 be deleted as recommended by His Excellency the President. Let me just explain how this came about. In the Finance Bill, I had proposed various taxes which could have enabled me obtain certain revenues which then could have enabled me to pay for the teachers’, doctors’, lecturers’ and even the Director of Public Prosecution increments which we had agreed upon. This could also have enabled us to fund the expansion that Parliament is doing in the renovation of the Senate Chamber, the extension of the restaurant and the office block. Therefore, it is important that we pass this, so that we can collect these taxes. Regarding the other issues, certain discussions are going on. I hope, by next week, we will have finalized them."
