    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the amendment by the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. As I mentioned during the Second Reading, many of these service – If you read the import of that amendment, there was even taxing transportation of goods excluding air transport services. That means even the mkokoteni and donkey people who ferry goods in town using donkey carts, mkokoteni, wheelbarrows and goods carts will be taxed. However, I am happy that the Chair and the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, besides doing away with this tax as the Leader of the Majority Party has mentioned, will be introducing other amendments that are compensating what he has taken away from here. That is the spirit we want to encourage; that if you do away with a tax element that was to bring revenue, propose an element that will also bring in revenue. I thank the Chair of Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning for that very good initiative."
