    "content": "There is something that we must also address at this stage in time. We have provided money for Value Added Tax (VAT) refunds and payment of pending bills. However, we need to make sure that all pending bills are paid and mopped up at this time of crisis. We need to make sure that all VAT refunds are made. We need to provide more money to the pockets of Kenyans by protecting and creating jobs. I know that there is a provision of little amount of money for kazimtaani where people will be engaged to provide labour in implementing some projects but it is still not enough. Through our discussion with the National Treasury, we are alive to the fact that this COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing and we do not know its final effect. Therefore, you cannot predict with certainty how much economic stimulus package you may need. Going forward, it should not come as a surprise to this House, when we will be called upon to re-align budgetary resources towards more economic stimulus interventions."
