    "content": " I propose we delete this clause. The reason being the housing levy matter has been greatly debated by Kenyans. Many of them thought the Finance Bill is equal to the housing levy because a lot has been said. I want to single out a few issues. There is a general agreement that there is demand for housing in this country and we need to construct houses; but Kenyans are uncomfortable with the approach and strategy of implementing this important activity. First is the issue of the legal framework to ensure I get a house when I contribute. That is why it is a levy and so, once you pay, you forget. Second, how many Kenyans will benefit from this, and how will they get their money back for those who do not benefit? So, Kenyans need to be more comfortable with how the housing levy is implemented. That is why we were saying the approach is wrong, and on this basis, we want to delete it from the Finance Bill."
