    "content": "I stand here as a matter of procedure to support the Finance Bill. In supporting the Finance Bill, there are a few key observations that we need to make. Probably, when we get to the Committee stage or the appropriate time, we will pass some amendments. We must start by stating that the purpose of the Finance Bill is to raise revenue to match the expenditure. Going through the Finance Bill, I am afraid it does not give confidence that we have been innovative enough in crafting measures that will allow us to raise revenue to bridge the ballooning deficit in our budget. However, we wish the National Treasury the best of luck. We hope as they go along, they will see more innovative ways of raising funds."
