    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I stand here to support this Bill which will be amended. There is no country or nation that can stand without a budget, and there is no budget that can stand without revenue resources. There is so much that has been said about this Finance Bill. There is a lot of misconception about it. There are too many amendments that have been proposed, which are good. So, I would like to urge the individuals who are opposing the Bill to read it again. There is no way you can reject a whole Bill. We can introduce amendments, but it is not possible to reject an entire Bill. So, I want to support the Bill for two reasons. One, it is supporting farmers. Most of my constituents grow sugarcane, tea and other crops. This Bill is supporting my constituents. Two, is on the issue of schools. Most of the teachers in Junior Secondary Schools will be absorbed because of the funding that will come through this Finance Bill. Three, it is promoting local manufacturing. The Bill is promoting local manufacturers, who will create a lot of jobs. I support this Bill as amended. I want to challenge all Kenyans who have not read the Bill to read it so that we do not use our Generation Z to protest for the sake of protesting but use them to support the Bill because it is the right thing to do. It will help this nation. Thank you. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
