"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order on relevance. We are discussing ndengu and how we can help our farmers to produce these mung beans. I do not see any relevance whatsoever between the Finance Bill and the mung beans and the provisions that are in this draft Bill. In fact, it is quite clear from the submissions that are coming from my colleague from Nandi County that he has not read this Bill. Everybody who is here and has interacted with this Bill knows that Sen. Cherarkey has not read this Bill. The things that he is talking about here and congratulating Members of the National Assembly have nothing to do with this Bill. In fact, if you were to ask him, how are those farmers who produce these mung beans supposed to get their produce to the market? They are going to use vehicles that use diesel. Therefore, if you are going to increase the price of fuel, you are hurting these farmers. You are negating the very intention of this Bill. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want you to rule him out of order because it has no relevance to what we are discussing. Please, maybe allow people who have read this Bill to have an opportunity to educate the Senator from Nandi County."
