    "content": "Over the weekend, Madam Deputy Speaker, I was in Busia County which is represented by Sen. Wako. There was a queue of vehicles belonging to Kenyans crossing into Uganda to buy fuel. Fuel to Rwanda, Burundi and Eastern Congo is imported through Mombasa and passes through Kenya. How come fuel in Goma, Buni and Butembo in Congo is cheaper than fuel in Kenya? It does not make any economic sense. It is time this House relooked at a Bill that was drafted by the leadership of Sen. Murkomen that was brought here to amend the Constitution to give authority to this House as a House of reference on all Bills from the National Assembly. In its advisory, the Supreme Court told the country and this House that the judges did not envisage any situation under the sun where any legislation did not concern counties. Whether you talk of the police, the theatre of security is in the counties. When you talk of taxation, the affected people are in the counties. As we move to the future, we must demystify the definition of the so called “Money Bills” in Article 114 and especially taxation. The Members of the National Assembly tell us that when a Bill comes to the House, they are allowed to speak for a maximum of two minutes each. What can you speak on taxation for two minutes?"
