    "content": "I want to point out the plight of our people in two ways. First, is in feeding our people. We are a nation that suffers from hunger ever so often. Our people are in the advent of COVID-19 because of what they need to eat. Putting a duty on maize flour is killing our people further. It is important for us to avoid taxing maize flour so that our people can feed themselves. On the other hand, when it comes to affordable housing, the principle of affordable housing speaks to the fact that we should have cheap and more accessible housing. When we tax any proceeds that leads to appreciation of housing, we condemn our people to live in polythene bags for a very long time. We do not need to go far but look at our neighbours. How many countries have their populations living in polythene bags apart from Kenya? That is serious on our part. As a country, we need to be careful how we manage these issues."
