"content": "I have looked at the Finance Bill and I have realised that it has addressed a number of issues. One of the major issues which I want to talk about is expansion of the tax base. It is very good so that we increase our income but, as much as we are expanding the tax base so that we are able to raise more money to build the roads, provide for schools, and everything else, there is need to ensure that every business is allowed to grow. We do not need to overtax to an extent that taxation inhibits growth in the sense that all what is raised in small businesses, real estates and small income is taxed. I am saying that, as much as the Bill looks at tax raising measures, it should also make sure that it does not pick money from every pot. Even if it is very little, allow it to grow first."
