    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to wind up by saying very strongly that there is dishonesty in this country. Dr. William Ruto is my friend, how I wish he went back to his campaign pledges because our people are suffering. I want to take his position when he was campaigning, that amendments to the Constitution are not a priority for this country. The priority is the cost of living. Do not overtax our people and stop snooping on our phones. If I send money to my mother, that is not her income but a transfer of resources. He should consult people who have extensive and wide knowledge in financial management. The issue of taxation should be left to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). The President can never be a tax collection agent. We have competent people in KRA. If the Kenyatta family is not paying taxes, they must pay but let KRA follow them. Anyone who is not paying taxes should pay but allow KRA to follow them. Let us not weaponize KRA. You are the ones who told us that President Uhuru Kenyatta was weaponizing state institutions. You are doing exactly that by weaponizing KRA. You have already made the Judiciary impotent. We are moving in a very dangerous direction. That is why I am reluctant to accept this idea of all of us running to the President that we want to support his Government. He has enough Members of Parliament to support his Government. We must be here to provide checks and balances to the Executive."
