    "content": "National Treasury. I want to thank the Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade, because it has handled the highest number of Bills, including the Finance Bill. Some of them had a stipulated deadline. This is a Committee that has executed its mandate well. I am not saying that the other Committees are not working, but if you tell me to give a score card of one to ten, this is a Committee that, in my opinion, will receive eight out of ten. By the time they are through with The capital Markets Authority Bill next week, they will have attained 10 marks. In conclusion, I want to raise this issue and because I am on the HANSARD, I will say it. Tomorrow, you will see some of our colleagues in Press conferences, political rallies or funerals criticising this Tax Appeals Tribunal Bill. They are supposed to be here. This is a law making House and the only one. In the last Parliament, I had the privilege to serve my people and I told my colleagues that the best job in this country is to be a Member of Parliament. It is the only place where you can amend and make good laws for this country. That is why I did not want to become a governor or a Senator or a county representative. It is not that I belittle them. These are very important institutions, but this is where we should have passed three or four Bills for the interest of our people. I second the Tax Appeals Tribunal Bill, 2013, at the Second Reading."
