    "content": "will support this nation. It appears that the debate today is gravitating around the Finance Bill as was presented. We seem to downplay the proposed amendments by our esteemed Committee Members. They have given us their version after receiving the contributions from the public. I wish to conclude my remarks as I support this Bill by commenting, on a light note, on a comment that was made by one Hon. Member. It was a bit unnecessary and misleading comparison. This is because we are speaking not only to this august House, but also to Kenyans who are listening outside there. It is unnecessary to compare the 19th Century's dictatorial monarchs with our vibrant democracy, which gives us an opportunity to change Governments whenever we want every five years. I want to speak to Kenyans that there is an alternative to revolution and destruction of a country. We have the most vibrant democracy in the world, and not in Africa alone. I urge that we debate the Bill without personalising issues. Let us think about this country and its progress. With those remarks, I support the Bill."
