    "content": "cooking oil? These are essentials. Why did you put tax on M-Pesa? Why did you put a tax on boda boda? I am very disturbed by this Finance Bill, especially because this Government is insensitive even to the sick. There is a tax on cancer equipment which will eventually increase the cost of treatment of cancer. The Bill in general intends to increase taxation, which eventually will increase the cost of living. This will make life harder and make Kenyans poorer. We recall that the Kenya Kwanza Government promised a bottom-up economic model; taking money to the hustlers, villages and the poor. However, this Bill is now taking money from the poor and bringing it back to Nairobi. I care for the people of Mwingi, the jobless, the youth and the hustlers. Therefore, I reject this Bill. I reject high taxation; high cost of living; I reject poverty and oppression. I condemn the National Treasury for bringing this shoddy Bill to Parliament. I demand its withdrawal. I oppose archaic, punitive, outrageous and careless finance Bills in the future. I say no to this Finance Bill. I say no to oppression, unfair taxation, and poverty. I reject the Finance Bill. I reject! I reject! I reject!"
