    "content": "because our contribution is the highest. Our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Nairobi is 60 per cent. It is only fair that we get additional funds so we can tarmac the roads that are used by Members of Parliament in Nairobi. As I finalise, the BPS is ambitious and so, we need to innovate ways of collecting revenue to avoid hurting Kenyans. This is possible and we do not need to increase taxes. There are other ways we can use to fund this BPS and ensure it is achieved. On the downside, in the event we are unable to fund it, in the Supplementary Budget, please, let us not take money from Parliament or development. Let it be taken from the Executive or somewhere else. Let us ensure that Parliament does not lose its money like we did in last year’s Supplementary Budget. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
