    "content": "As Members of the National Assembly, we should not allow the Executive to use the back door and take the role of legislation through Presidential assent. That is our concern. In the last one year, whenever the National Assembly passes laws and they are taken for Presidential assent, most of the times they are returned with reservations. Because it is very difficult to raise two-thirds majority, they are always lost. In this Bill, non-beverage drinks like sodas will become very expensive for the common person. We represent the people and, as Hon. Jimmy Angwenyi has said, the people who used to drink the hard drinks that were done away with have resulted to drinking sodas. We have to make their lives easier by making them affordable."
