When the President made reference to the creation of affordable credit, he was speaking to the interest of the common mwananchi. This government was formed on the strength of the ‘hustler ”. The ‘hustler’ is that person who needs credit to be made available.

If we may be sought for, as a House, to help in enhancement of amendments to the tax regime, is for the good of the country. When we tax wealth rather than taxing the small mwananchi, w e are creating that which is going to help our people, so that Kenyans can grow themselves in terms of business enterprises that they are running.
