    "content": "A lot was said here about the impact of the just passed Finance Bill. I was very happy when the Speaker made the ruling that we can discuss that matter even in this discussion because that has opened an avenue for me to also say a few things. In that Bill, there is an increase in Value Added Tax (VAT), and Sen. Cherarkey argued that we are going to have more money for us to give the county governments. We, in the Azimio Coalition, the minority party, argue that the economic impact of the passage of the Finance Bill is going to be counterproductive. Many of these farmers rely on the same agricultural equipment that use diesel. You are aware of the level of mechanization or the level of fuel needed in mechanized agriculture. If you levy further taxes on fuel, we are going to see a lot of problems facing our farmers."
