    "content": "Let me discuss this Bill. There is Excise Duty on bottled water. This is not right because water is an essential commodity. People buy bottled water because only 55 per cent of available water is safe for drinking. The Government is unable to provide safe drinking water to its people. So, people have reverted to bottled water. The same Government, which is unable to provide safe drinking water, has decided to put Excise Duty on bottled water. I am concerned because with the importation challenges that we have in this country, we will import water from Brazil or Uganda soon. This is a very serious concern. I oppose the Excise Duty that has been imposed on bottled water."
