    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to air my views on the Finance Bill, 2024. I will start by reminding all of us that this is a House of debate. It is our noble responsibility to articulate and look into, with a microscopic eye, all issues before us with the sole purpose of coming up with data or a document which is favourable to our nation and the people who sent us here. Since yesterday, I have been listening to various views by Hon. Members. The initial draft of the Bill was wanting. It had very many negative issues. I commend the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning for executing its mandate and fine-tuning this document. On the same note, I commend the Committee for listening to the people and acknowledging the importance of public participation. Most of the issues which were raised during public participation have been addressed. I come from Nyandarua County which is an agricultural area. There was an issue on potatoes and eggs in the initial draft, which had very adverse effects. It has been removed from the Bill. I can see my time is up. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
