    "content": "On behalf of the Senator for Kisumu County, Sen. (Prof.) Tom Odhiambo Ojienda, SC, I ask the following questions- (a) Could the Cabinet Secretary clarify whether the Ministry undertook any public engagement on the necessity of the tax measures contained in the Finance Bill, 2024, and also state any measures put in place to ensure future public engagements are adequate and meaningful to avert demonstrations similar to those witnessed in June, July and August 2024? (b) Has the Government assessed the economic impact of the demonstrations in terms of loss of revenue, as well as, the number and value of businesses and other properties that were vandalized and or looted? If so, could the Cabinet Secretary highlight the findings of the assessment? (c) How has the economic disruption from the demonstrations coupled with the downgrade of Kenya's credit rating impacted the ability of Kenya to service her debts. Could the Cabinet Secretary explain any steps taken to stabilize the economy, restore investor confidence and stabilize the credit rating? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
