    "content": "being taken against them. We want to see the DCI arresting them on Friday and keep them until Monday. If possible, let the judges decline to release them on bail for even two weeks, so that people can know that public resources cannot just be converted to private use without any justification and you go scot-free. That is where I think the problem is. In a nutshell as I conclude, the tax rates we are reverting back to are not unrealistic. They are realistic, reasonable, and within average. This is what other countries tax their people if not higher. The problem is not with the tax. The problem is usage. I would not mind, I am going to surrender about Kshs50,000 more every month to the Government which from April to date I have been earning. I have no problem with that. Let it go to the Government, but let it be utilised effectively and efficiently to deliver services to the people, to all of us and to our constituents. Let us see improvement in our healthcare. Let the Universal Health Care (UHC) be a reality. Let it not just be something that is in the books. Let us see real UHC taking place in our counties. This is going to be my last comment. We want to see the governors who are given money to prepare for COVID-19 and did not prepare for it and instead embezzled those funds, taken to court because they are the ones who are causing our people to die. People in the counties are dying from COVID-19, some of whom are not even documented because of greed of a few individuals. People will never be satisfied. They eat money for roads, water and health. They eat money for everything and they want to kill people so that they can eat money. We need to see these people behind bars. I am speaking like this because the agencies that are given the responsibility are letting Kenyans down. We thought they had picked up, now they are back to where we were even before we saw some activity. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support the Bill."
