"content": "In the words of Hon. Junet Mohamed, most Members of this House, across the board, rose to say: \"This is the best Budget because it adds money to constituencies and pays for the confirmation of Junior Secondary Schools (JSS) teachers.\" That is when these proposals were brought to this House. They rose in this House to support all budgetary proposals. Then it got to the Committee of Supply. Where do we get money to supply the demand? We get it through ordinary revenues that increase to Ksh2.7 trillion and yet, we have a Budget of Ksh4 trillion. How do we fix the demand for employment, roads, infrastructure and electricity? How do we fix the demand facing the people of Kenya? We fix it by ensuring that there is enough supply. This supply should not fix the people of Kenya. That is why the Committee listened to Kenyans and said that VAT on bread and the motor vehicle tax had to be removed because they are not good. We amended many sections that we felt were punitive to the people of Kenya. We have brought to this House a report that gives a fair tax regime to the people of Kenya."
