On the Finance Bill, yesterday I sat here until 10.00 p.m. when we did the Committee of Supply on the Floor of the House. Everybody wants roads back at home. Everybody wants electricity. Everybody wants the Inua Jamii cash transfer back at home. The elderly always come to me asking when the Ministry is going to add more members to the Inua Jamii Programme, but they do not want to pay tax. I am very shocked when I stand in this House because when we were campaigning, I saw Hon. Members from the Azimio side on the track saying that, at the end of every month, they would give Ksh6,000 to people. I am wondering where the Ksh6,000 was supposed to come from and yet, there is no money. Were they going to get Ksh6,000 by borrowing? It is good to be very honest. The VAT on fuel was introduced during the “handshake regime” at 16 per cent. Then they decided to borrow money and that conversation died. This conversation was introduced in 2021. Hon. Speaker, because of the minutes they took from me when my microphone was not working, I need to be added two minutes. For us to be able to take care of our constituencies…."
