    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It is not in my place to request the House to, at least, be attentive to the debate. This is a critical matter that we are debating. In fact, this is a core clause in the Finance Bill. There are two reasons why I support this clause. One, as much as the argument is being forwarded that it is not the function of national Government to build houses, it is also true that it is the national Government that gives policy on housing. The issue that is at the fore here is not about housing. If they took time to read the proposal, they would find out that it goes beyond housing. There are three cases that I can mention that speak to three constituencies in this House. The artisans in Dagoretti South who work along Ngong Road partnered with artisans from Starehe and Kamukunji to pilot the first 1,000 houses that were constructed in Park Road. These three groups of artisans netted a total of Ksh122 million, which went to the pockets of hustlers who only constructed doors and windows."
