    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. I commend the Departmental Committee on Finance and Planning for having listened to Kenyans on the issues they raised. This is a Bill that has sensitised Kenyans on issues of finance. Kenyans across the country have realised their roles in terms of what they had to say about what the Government is doing. This Bill is trying to do a lot of things, more so on affordable housing. If we build decent houses, we will do away with slums in our country. As we speak, our country has one of the largest slums in Africa. This Government endeavours to remove slums and create jobs in terms of promoting construction works, the cement industry and many other related sub-sectors. Farmers will also increase production of food and many other products because of tax exemption on fertilisers and zero-rating. I, therefore, support and urge Members that we pass the Bill."
