    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman for the opportunity. I want to speak as a member of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. Before we made the decisions we made, we consulted the stakeholders. We represent people and one of our major responsibilities is legislation. The decisions that we made are what we believed as a committee, after consultation, are good for this country. I want to support the position of our Chair that the recommendations by His Excellency the President are not good. I belong to the Jubilee Coalition. The Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade is constituted legally comprising of all Members from both sides of the coalition. So, I want to remind my colleague Hon. Nassir that this is not about that other side. It is about this country and our people. Those recommendations are not good for this country. Somebody is trying to usurp our powers. We need to stand our ground and reclaim our position. We cannot lie to ourselves that we cannot raise the two-thirds majority. I want to support the position that this debate be adjourned and come back to the House and make the right decisions."
