This is the heart of the matter. I will tell the Chairman of this Committee as the Member for Ruaraka that I am ready to support his Value Added Tax (VAT) Bill only if he gives me a Bill that does not contain offensive issues like the ones I can see. What is so difficult about withdrawing the Bill, publishing a better one and bringing it before us? If he does that, then within five minutes, I can assure the Chairman, he will have an Act of Parliament."}
