    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I add my voice to this very vital matter that has been raised by the Whip of the Minority Party. Indeed, the issue of the Finance Bill is very important that we need to get it right this time around. Bearing in mind the public mood out there, it requires that we go through this process in a manner that gives Members the time to interrogate the report and the proposed amendments. I rise because of what I have heard the Leader of the Majority Party say. Hon. Ichung’wah has made some comments concerning the Governor of Nyeri County, who purported to be making a decision on the Finance Bill out there. But he made more serious remarks besides that, that I was very concerned about. Hon. Speaker, please, indulge me for one second. I listened to the Governor of Nyeri, Mutahi Kahiga, and I could not believe that I was listening to a leader who has been elected by the people in a county. He was castigating the Government of the Republic of Kenya for extending development projects to Kenyans. He wondered why the stadium in Bungoma was completed in a record two weeks, yet the one in Nyeri is still pending, and yet the people of Bungoma County did not vote as much as the people of Nyeri for the Government. He also lamented why the sugar debt for the sugarcane farmers was being waived, yet sugarcane farmers did not vote for this Government."
