    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a matter of public knowledge that Kenyans are being overtaxed. It is also a matter of public knowledge that before the Kenya Kwanza Government came to power, there was no Housing Levy on the pay slips of Kenyans. It is not far-fetched when I stand here to say that Kenyans are overtaxed. I request Sen. Cherarkey, who is a very progressive Senator, to defend things that are defensible. He is a Member who has been here for quite some time. I think it is important that even as he speaks for the Government, he does not negate things that everybody knows, including primary school children. There is no one who does not know that there was no housing levy before Kenya Kwanza came to power. Mr. Speaker, Sir, having responded, allow me to comment on the fact that this Statement by Sen. Okenyuri raised the issue of the causes of these homeless people being in the streets. The Committee that will look into this matter should also address the root cause of homeless people and not only the solutions. I support and I ask Sen. Cherarkey to have his facts right before he raises some points of order. I have finished."
