"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to end by saying we need electricity. People seriously need electricity because it helps to reduce poverty. Young people can create jobs for themselves. Women can use electricity at night to do their work. Our women long for electricity. I support the 20 per cent reduction of excise duty to allow local assembly of transformers. When we have locally assembled transformers, we will reduce their theft because there will be no market. Transformers will be very cheap and the Government will afford to connect all villages to electricity."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Dr Nyikal, I tried, but we are bound by the same rules made by this House. I appreciate the concerns that Members of the National Assembly have had on this particular matter. I appreciate the quality of the debate that has been made by all of you. I also appreciate the work the Committee is doing to ensure that we enhance local manufacturing. I take note of one of the comments made by Hon. Mutuse. One of the questions we asked ourselves during consideration of this amendment was: do we really have local transformer assemblers and manufacturers in this country? We visited some of the firms and established that there are investors in this country who have invested heavily in assembly and are willing to move into manufacturing parts once this Bill is passed. As I said in my moving remarks, we must become selfish and support our own rather than become a supermarket of imported products from across the globe. We must learn from what global leaders like Americans have done, be selfish, and support local manufacturing."

"content": "I like the cue made by Hon. Mutuse. I urge the national Treasury and the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investments to gazette regulations on the dates by which parts will be manufactured locally. It is possible. When this House passed the law exempting imported motorcycle parts from excise duty, regulations followed. Dates were set by which parts would have to be manufactured locally. I urge the national Treasury to collaborate with the Ministry of Investments, Trade and Industry, which our very good Cabinet Secretary and former Governor for Nakuru, Hon. Lee Kinyanjui, leads. They ought to gazette regulations with specifications even on imported parts that will start to be manufactured locally. I got reports from many of you asking about the Finance Bill 2025. Seeing that we are back to where we were last year is disheartening. I see people’s analyses of the Finance Bill 2025 on social media, and I wonder because the Bill has not had a chance to be in this House. It has not even been tabled. It must be somewhere in the drafting of the Budget Office under the national Treasury. It is really sad that people are starting to debate. Painfully, I say they are deliberately misinforming and disinforming this country. Let us be patient and see the proposals the national Treasury will come up with. As I said, this House is committed to ensuring that the views of the public are heard: it is not just for the sake of it, but to matter in the decision that the people's representatives will pass in this House. With those many remarks, I beg to reply."
