Rt Hon @AnitahAmong on the rationalisation of government agencies: This allegation of saying that MPs were bribed must stop. Nobody was bribed. People did legislation on their own. How do you bribe the whole house? #PlenaryUg #NBSUpdates #NBSParliamentLive

@AnitahAmong Rt. Hon. @AnitahAmong: Life is too short. Let us live a free life. Let us not have a life of hatred. Let us have that thing; life is too short, live it to the fullest. #NBSUpdates #NBSParliamentLive #PlenaryUg

Rt. Hon. @AnitahAmong: Politics aside, we are one and one family and we should be able to help each other. Whether in good or bad times. We can disagree here in here but when we reach that door; we should be able to hug. #NBSUpdates #NBSParliamentLive #PlenaryUg

Hon. Businge Harriet: What does not help this country is carrying out tax exemptions to people who can pay tax yet they continue to squeeze the ordinary person who can't pay. #NBSUpdates #NBSParliamentLive #PlenaryUg

Hon @AbedBwanika: Our VAT is among the highest in the whole world. We must revise this VAT so that it is affordable for our people to do business. #NBSUpdates #NBSParliamentLive #PlenaryUg

Hon. @AbedBwanika: Among the issues the traders raised was the non-standardized valuation. We want to know how the Ministry of Finance is curing this because it is killing business. #NBSUpdates #NBSParliamentLive #PlenaryUg

Hon Ayoo Tonny: The traders were also complaining of high interest rates charged by the money lenders and the law requires the Ministry of Finance to set the maximum lending rate. #NBSUpdates #NBSParliamentLive #PlenaryUg

Rt. Hon. @AnitahAmong: You don't have to beat anybody to collect money. You don't need to brutalize anybody. Trust in the government will be lost yet at the same time we expect to get money (taxes) from these people. #NBSUpdates #NBSParliamentLive #PlenaryUg
