"content": "I want to thank my counterpart, the Leader of the Majority Party, for giving us space as the minority to debate so that our views can be heard. He is a distinguished accountant who understands tax issues. I am very proud because the Tax Procedures (Amendment) Bill is what this country needs at this point in time. Our economy is on the upward trajectory. Inflation is at 2.7 per cent. Forex exchange has stabilised and the dollar to the shilling has settled at Ksh129 from Ksh163. The debts are being serviced. So, there is no better time than this, in this country. The cost of living has come down. This is the kind of life we want our citizens to enjoy. We want it to become better than it is today. That is why as Members of Parliament, we want to make sure that the right laws are passed. As a House, we are the guardians and the vanguard of the people, not as the minority or majority. I conclude by saying that I am proud of this Bill. I expect the President to assent to it soonest and expeditiously so that Kenyans can enjoy its benefits. With those few remarks, I support."
