    "content": "As much as it is right for us to agree with this Report, I am hoping that the Government is listening to the people’s voices courtesy of the constitutional obligation of this House. When we come back, we will listen to the needs of Kenyans. We cannot have a tax that is based on volume and not profits. No country in the world has ever grown by overtaxing its citizens. At a time like this, when we see how badly the different sectors of the economy have been hit, it is enough for us to say that when we come back, let us simply remove it. Those of us who initially said that we cannot have such taxation; let us all talk in harmony, not for anything else but for the sake of Kenyans. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
