"content": "Having said so, Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is important for those of us who live within Nairobi to engage the Minister, and the Minister should realize that Kenya has a problem with interest rates. But staying here this week and coming back after Christmas will not be of any value in terms of legislation. We cannot force the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance to bring the Finance Bill if he decides he will not bring it. We will continue dealing with a few Questions and our hearts are not here in Parliament. We need to go; I need to go to Juja. I have been here for only one-and-a-half years, and I need to catch up with what is happening in Juja. I need to spend time to make sure that the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) projects that are goining on in Juja are of some help to the people of Juja, as opposed to sitting here and telling the country that we will not be able to go on recess, because the Finance Bill has not been brought here. We understand the importance of the Finance Bill; we understand the passion from which my friend, hon. Midiwo â whom I share most of this information with â feels Kenyans need to be helped. Kenyans have a right and we know that we have banks that are completely unruly. This is the only country in the world where the exchange rate can move from Kshs82 to Kshs107 and back to Kshs82 in the same month."
