    "content": "When a law is passed in this House, it does not affect people who voted for Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Coalition Party or Kenya Kwanza Coalition. It affects Kenyans across the board. I have moved from the original Bill. If we vote for it, all of us in this House - including Members of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning - will oppose it. Our Constitution gave us separation of powers. Parliament will sort out and protect Kenyans from the excesses of the Executive. To set the record straight, the Finance Bill has been there since I was young. I would watch Parliament when a minister would come and say: \"This is going to change beginning midnight tonight. “That was the Finance Bill. When Kenyans write to us saying we should reject the Finance Bill, our response to most of them is the clause they want us to reject. Our sitting down for 14 days as Members of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning and listening to professionals and Kenyans was not an exercise in futility. We listened to Kenyans. Another process, the budget-making process, was going on as we listened to Kenyans. It is demand and supply. Demand has continued to rise in this country. That is why the Government is coming up with a proposal for a Budget of Ksh4 trillion. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
