"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to speak on only two things because many issues have already been deliberated on. One is the 16 per cent fuel levy. First, we are not the highest in the region. Rwanda is at 20 per cent, Tanzania is at 18 per cent, and Uganda is at 18 per cent. Even if they were above us, we cannot compare the development particularly on the tarmacked roads here in Kenya. Number two, through this tax, we will collect Ksh300 billion. In the Budget that we passed yesterday, we are short of approximately Ksh700 billion. That means if we collect Ksh300 billion in the next financial year, by the third year we shall be at par and everyone in this country will be rejoicing."
