    "content": "Lastly, I want to support Hon. Limo on his sentiments on the amendments on the VAT by saying, the amendments done were in the right direction. I only have a reservation. Next time we are doing an amendment let us bring them through the normal legislations. The amendments that we are dealing with in an omnibus way, through statutory amendments, are not good for this country. We require serious time to transact and interrogate fully the legislations that are coming. Sometimes you find that when an amendment is brought in, the office of the Attorney General are called in, they come and deny part of that amendment and they do not know the origin of that amendment. We, therefore, have a scenario where certain quotas want to use this Parliament for their own selfish interest to sneak in amendments. I want to urge the necessary institution that next time we deal with amendments of this nature such as Insolvency of Companies Act, let us transact them as a major amendment of that legislation and not through an omnibus Bill. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
