    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I want to support the amendment by the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee on this. The Housing Fund is, as the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party has put it, one of the key projects that is going to unlock the economy of this country. It has many benefits in that, there are those who will benefit directly through the construction such as the plumbers, masons, carpenters, electricians, and indirectly, that is the architects and hardware stores. You remember in many of the public participations, people have insisted that we would want the materials that are going to be used in those projects to be sourced from the surrounding community. It is going to benefit them. Yesterday, we saw the amendment that was done in the Export Processing Zones (EPZ) Authority where they will have to source materials from within, without paying any taxes. If you look at the amendments and Bills that this Government is doing, you will see that we are on the right track. I ask Kenyans to be patient and come together as a team, and this country will be great. With those few remarks, I support."
