    "content": "various experts before the bipartisan committee. The experts were all in agreement including Government institutions like the Controller of Budget that the transaction policy adopted by the Kenya Kwanza Government is going to suffocate our economy. We do not talk about some of these things because we are in the opposition but because we are Kenyans. It is important to have a look at the taxes introduced by this regime as part of their strategy to revive the economy. You cannot revive the economy by taxing more. We need to relook at the bigger picture so that we can address issues like the ones Sen. Wamatinga has eloquently explained and put in his Motion. I support this Motion. However, the focus should be on relooking on the taxation policy that the Kenya Kwanza Government has come up with. Also, relooking at the high cost of essential items in this country including fuel. Then we will address this issue permanently. We were promised by the Kenya Kwanza Government that they would ensure no Kenya will be listed in the Credit Revenue Bureau (CRB). They told us that they had managed to remove seven million Kenyans from CRB. We are not seeing this. We were told that the model of listing in CRB is going to change. We are not seeing this change, what we are witnessing is our young people being listed in CRB. They cannot borrow and cannot participate in the economy effectively if they are in CRB. As we contribute to the Motion, these are essential questions that we must ask. What happened to the promise on CRB? What happened to the promise to the ‘hustlers’? I am happy this Motion has been sponsored by a Kenya Kwanza Senator. The bigger question is what happened to the promise to the ‘hustlers’. I support."
