    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It has been a long wait, but it is worth it for the people of Funyula and the people of Samia. At the outset, a Finance Bill is meant to cure two issues. To make proposals for revenue raising for that particular financial year and to make administrative changes to existing financial or revenue raising measures and taxes of that kind of nature. As I stand here today, I join the Kenyans all over the country who have been very unequivocal that they reject this Bill. I reject it emphatically and I have got very valid reasons to reject it. I am here to represent the people of Funyula because there is an established principle of no taxation without representation. I am here on behalf of the people and I state what the people of Kenya have told me. Hon. Speaker, just perusing through the draconian measures that are contained in this Bill, clearly indicates that the drafters of the Bill are sadists, are impervious to the suffering of the people of Kenya and I call upon the cabal and the cartel that presented this Bill to go and soul-search and find out whether they are part of the Kenyan people or they are the oppressors.
