    "content": "In one minute it becomes very difficult. What I would want to say is that I do not support the deletion of 43. I really do not care much about the deletion of 45. It may be retained or not, but I really oppose the deletion of 46 on ambulances and hearses. In Mbita Constituency, we bury almost 20 people every weekend and the Government does not assist. If you are able to afford the services of a hearse, which are not provided by the Government--- Burying people is almost a socio-economic need. On the issue of ambulances, we do not have any Government supplied ones. I think there is only one Government supplied ambulance in the whole constituency. What we want to buy now--- Because I have been searching, I know what the implications are. If you look at the cost of buying and the VAT element, it is completely prohibitive. It eats into money that can be used to build classrooms. So, Chair, I do not support some items, but I support the one on solar equipment. If you actually compare what he is saying on ambulances to what we are seeking to exempt in air ticketing, there is a class issue. It is air ticketing versus ambulances. Ambulances touch on very ordinary people. Air ticket touches on me and mheshimiwa."
