    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, allow me to say that Kenyans have cried so much. In my constituency, I got many people making requests for us to make different amendments about bread, motorcycles, cooking oil and too many other issues. I support the Finance Bill because the Committee and the Members of this Parliament have heard the cries of the citizens of this country. Therefore, we cannot sit in this Parliament and forget that we are the representatives of the people and our people need a lot of support in different sectors. From this Bill, we are getting Ksh50 million for each constituency in this country regarding electricity matters. It is in the same Bill that we are also adding Ksh401 billion to counties for development. From this Finance Bill, we are here also to appreciate that we have additions to the NG-CDF and National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF). In this Finance Bill, we are gaining a lot that even our 46,000 Junior Secondary (JSS) teachers will be employed on permanent and pensionable basis. It is also good to appreciate that in this country we have many roads which are destroyed and every time we end up camping in the office of the Cabinet Secretary, Hon. Murkomen. Therefore, we are getting some funding for our roads. Some of us have projects which have stalled in our respective constituencies and in this regard, we are supporting this Bill which also caters for our elderly, matters of farmers and very many things in this country. We stand here as Members of Parliament to remember that it is good to be honest and it is good also to guide our people. We were elected as Members of Parliament to give good directions to our people. Therefore, whoever is rejecting the Finance Bill is against the will of Kenyans. Kenyans want development. We have heard the cries of Kenyans and we have made the right amendments."
