    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to thank the Hon. Members who have contributed to the Finance Bill. I have noted all the issues they have raised. Although some Hon. Members have doubts on the fact that the Finance Bill looks very small compared to the Budget that was passed, I want to clarify that we have been making new finance laws since we joined this Parliament. Therefore, continuity does not need amendments. For example, we did a new VAT law in 2013. We have also done the Tax Stability Tribunal and moved amendments on micro-finance banks. Most of the issues have been updated. What we have gone through are small areas where we have challenges. For example on VAT, we are actually doing small panel beatings where we have found challenges since the passing of the VAT Bill of 2013.
