    "content": "There are also a lot of misconceptions. I am a farmer and I come from Elgeyo Marakwet where people farm. I support the tax on imported potatoes, eggs, and avocados because we also need our farmers to produce and sell their produce in the local market. If we waive the tax on eggs and potatoes that are from outside, they will always flood our markets from our neighbouring countries, and our farmers are going to lose it big time. Hon. Temporary Speaker, somebody called Benjamin Franklin once said; in this world, nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes for a country to run. I pity the current Government because when we borrow, there is complaint and public outcry that we are borrowing. When it tries to get the money locally by increasing taxes and levies, there is still an outcry. I think there is something that people who have knowledge and ideas are misleading the young people who may not be aware of what this is."
