Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Finance Bill and I am very happy and excited to see hon. Mbadi there because when I moved an amendment in the House last time on sugar, he was the first one to say that I was very ignorant. I think there were lots of comments which he made which I was not able to answer to. When I see him in rallies trying to incite people about the VAT Bill and yet he was the first one to shout it down, I really wonder.
