    "content": "This Finance Bill has some draconian measures. It allows KRA to access peoples’ M- PESA accounts without going to court. We are going to make every Kenyan move to cash transactions. While we need to support local industries, the eco levy is not the way to go. My little daughter Iranzi needs diapers, which I can afford. Sadly, Kerubo in Kitutu Masaba, whose husband mines sand in the quarry, cannot afford it. The cheapest option they can get is what they need for the child's cleanliness. Millions of girls do not have sanitary towels. The cheapest they can get is what we should afford, whether imported or local. We should not make it any more expensive. Hon. Speaker, competition brings costs down. If our local manufacturers cannot up their game, it is not our business to try and protect some few individuals for selfish interests. When the Whip of the Majority Party spoke in the morning, he correctly stated that I am a chicken farmer and produce eggs. This is very true. However, imposing import duty on table eggs is where we get it wrong. We get it wrong because we have decided to split eggs into two - table and fertilised eggs. If I give you two eggs, you will not know which is a table or a fertilised one. You are protecting a few people who will purport to import fertilised eggs, but will import table eggs. The import duty should be on all. Let the one who is hatching claim a refund after proving and showing the chicks."
