    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to support this amendment mainly because I am the one who sent the members from my county to go and speak before the Finance, Planning and Trade Committee. They were losing and their businesses had shut down. In the last two weeks, more than 5,000 chickens have been sold off. People have sold off their businesses simply because they cannot run them because of the high cost of animal feeds. I want to thank hon. Mbadi for bringing this VAT (Amendment) Bill. We need to look at our VAT properly and soberly because when we start imposing VAT on means of production, we are killing this economy and our industries instead of supporting them. We need to grow this economy and ensure that our young people, especially the women of this country, are empowered and can support themselves. With those remarks, I support."
