The allegations regarding modifications to the Tax Reforms Acts lack substantiation.

The Patriots, a coalition of Civil Society Organisations, support the National Assembly’s decision to re-gazette the Tax Acts 2025, emphasizing the importance of legislative accountability.

Allegations of discrepancies between the Official Gazette and the National Assembly’s records are unfounded, as the authoritative records are the Votes and Proceedings of the Senate and House of Representatives from May 28, 2025 The existence of two versions of the Acts in the Official Gazette is unconfirmed. Any administrative publication discrepancies cannot alter the laws passed by the National Assembly.

Allegations of alterations must be proven by those making them, and administrative irregularities do not invalidate legislative Acts or undermine parliamentary authority.

Re-gazetting the Tax Acts in their correct form is deemed proper and necessary, while calls for suspension or repeal are considered constitutionally unsound

The National Assembly’s directive to issue Certified True Copies of the Acts promotes transparency and public confidence.

The Patriots urge respect for parliamentary records and support for the prompt re-gazetting of the Acts to maintain democratic authority.

The statement is made in the interest of good governance and the well-being of the nation.
