    "content": " I thank you Hon. Temporary Chairman. I support the amendment brought by Hon. Oluoch. I brought a similar amendment also seeking to delete Clause 76 for two reasons. Number one, the National Government deals with housing policy under Schedule 4. The matter of provision of housing or housing as a function lies with the county governments. It is not for the national Government, whether we hide it in a Finance Bill or otherwise, to deal with matters housing. Let us clear out the matters which the courts can pick on in future to stifle all these measures so that we clear them out. Hon. Members, if we pass this, the court will pick it and say it is not a function for the national Government. Secondly, I have heard it has been changed from the housing levy to a tax. Why was it made a tax? This does not make sense. So, I urge that we agree with Hon. Anthony Oluoch and delete this to save what we have pulled through instead of having it being stopped by the court."
