    "content": " It should be removed. As we continue, he should convince us on how he will fill that gap in revenue if we reject that increment from 5 per cent to 12.5 per cent. This Finance Bill must balance. You remember that last year when we removed the fuel levy tax, it affected our National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). Members have to be very careful. He can deny the Government revenue and then when it cannot balance, we will be told to reduce our NG-CDF. Today, we are very careful. It will not be taken from our constituencies but others which are very important. We do not want to have a gap that will affect us. The Chair must tell the House where he will get money to cover that difference from 5 per cent to 12.5 per cent. I oppose the amendment."
