    "content": "issues that were being raised in the social media? Why did they choose to respond to the Fourth Estate? Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to say that public participation needs to be re-defined. Yesterday, on television, I saw a desperate Majority Whip, Hon. Silvanus Osoro. He was very desperately trying to convince Kenyans and deeply thinking on how taxation on bread and motor vehicles has been dropped. He looked desperate and under pressure. I want to say that we must stand firm on the Floor of this House and rise beyond the numbers. Issues of numbers do not arise when we talk about the Finance Bill. I want to say that the Finance Bill of 2023 can equally be applicable on the Budget that we want to appropriate. I want to say that there must be progress on how we generate our taxes. I want to request for one minute because I have valid points. Thank you so much. Hon. Deputy Speaker, as a woman, you know the problems that we have. Actors in the private sector are key and we must take care of their interest; lest they migrate from this country. When we talk about zero-rating and standard-rating, the final sufferers are the consumers. President Yoweri Museveni said that Kenyans must learn to produce and manufacture their raw materials. Where is that in the Finance Bill?"
