    "content": "jobs. They have used their innovations to create jobs for themselves. Today, there are young people downloading movies from Netflix and you want to tell them to watch that Netflix movie, now you have to pay. Please, those young people are saying: \"We cannot breathe!\" Let us allow them to breathe, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to beg, because of time that, when we get to the third reading, I will want to bring amendments to ensure, first, that we re-emphasize our role as a constitutional democracy where people are represented, and that there is no taxation without representation in this country. Whether it is on matters VAT or on matters Excise Duty, for you to be able to tax, you cannot use delegated legislation. You must bring those taxation measures to this House and allow the people’s representatives to represent their people on matters to do with taxation and their lives. With that, I beg to support the Motion and support the Committee's Report and commend the Committee on Finance and National Planning for having listened to the people of Kenya."
