    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, I beg to second this Motion. Once again, I urge Members, as Sen. Orengo said, this is not about parties, one’s community, one’s people or where one come’s from. This is about the people you represent in this House. It is high time that the Committee on Finance and Budget, chaired by the Senator for Kirinyaga, carried out a public inquiry on taxation in this country. We are talking of taxation in Nairobi, at the national level. We had a case from Mombasa, where Sen. Faki comes from, where the Governor levied taxes on a lorry carrying soda, the crate of soda, the bottle of soda and the contents of the bottle of soda. Those are four different taxes on one product. How can you do that? Kenyans have been so obedient to authority that we just sit complaining that life is too harsh and things are not adding up. From there, everybody puts their hands in the pockets and walks home. As we, the representatives of the people speak today, let the country hear us. Madam Deputy Speaker, I beg to second."
