    "content": "I would also wish to say at the outset that there is no need of loading a Finance Bill, which is basically a Bill about issues of finance, tax collection, how to raise funds and so on, with other baggage. The baggage makes the Bill a difficult topic, so that at any given time, even Members of the National Assembly will be thinking of killing such a Bill at an early stage yet it is a very important Bill. So, as we wait for the ruling of the Speaker tomorrow, I would wish to add my voice, which I should have added earlier, that the baggage that is within the Finance Bill containing other sections and then have them go through the Second Reading, should not be there. In this House, currently, we have a common practice where once we have passed a Bill at the Third Reading, it goes to the President, and finally it is brought back here and we are told we must raise a two-thirds majority under Article 115. Somewhat, the law is made in that order. I am hoping that the ruling that comes is good, so that this baggage is not put in the Finance Bill and if we have any other substantive amendments that have to be done, let them come and we deal with them as a House."
