    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the Bill proposes to restore a policy on debt sustainability or whatever they are calling it. He has forgotten that he is the same person who was saying that he needs everything on electronic Tax Invoice Management System (eTims). Fine, you say you have reduced it for mama mboga and whoever. We forget that the same person who could have a business turnover of Ksh2 million is experiencing the new challenges that we are facing. Let us try to build an economic base for Kenyans to experience economic growth. Reduction of tax for local manufacturers will only benefit the who-is who – the likes of Devki Group – who are monopolising this country’s economy. They are the only ones who can manufacture clinker and cement. Does that mean we cannot revive the East African Portland Cement? We only have one company that manufactures pasta in this country. Increasing import tax will not solve anything since we only have one local manufacturer of pasta in the country. That manufacturer decides when to increase the prices. How do you deal with such people? Tell us the number of local manufacturers we have in the country so that Kenyans can know."
