Hon Deputy Chair, hon members, what is frequently overlooked in our discourse over a developmental state is the importance of revenue collection and also the importance of a focused and well- capacitated revenue administration.
Revenue collection and administration are the core of building an effective developmental state. Revenue collection is considered an enabler of development. It permits government to create fiscal space in order to pursue its national developmental agendas such as contesting poverty and inequality. I ask the House to please accept the amendments to the revenue Bills. I thank you. [Applause.] Debate concluded.
