    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Those frivolous points of order are meant to waste time so that people cannot hear what we have to say. I talked about things that are in the Finance Bill. Even the 3 per cent turnover tax is in the Bill. I said: “When will this House stand up to be counted?” The Executive is controlling us like puppets. The Executive says they will watch how we vote, and I do not know what will happen to us. Hon. Members of this House must ensure that the independence and power of this House is respected so that we are not taken for a ride. The division of Kenyans by this Executive has gone on for a very long time. They started with hustlers versus dynasties. They talked about companies, shareholders and non- shareholders, which I have heard being alluded to here. We have also been told that this Bill is a fight between those who have salaries and those who do not. We must make sure that we speak the truth. When you tell us that you want Kenyans to feel pain now and they will go to heaven sooner and start enjoying themselves, it reminds me of Shakahola. That is what the people of Shakahola told others. They told them: “Sell all your earthly assets, come to us, starve, suffer in pain, then die, and see heaven.”"
