    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to support this Motion. We are already very tired. We need to go and rest. Those of us who are Christians need to go and celebrate. In Kenya, we have serious economic issues which we need to address in the larger picture, including interest rates and inflation rate which is very high. We also need to improve and expand on our export base. Currently, we are not exporting much. In fact, our exports are declining. We need to know how to improve so that we support our shilling. We need to support our farmers to produce enough food and at a cheaper rates so that the cost of food comes down. We also have high rates of Treasury bills because the shilling is stabilizing. I think it is the high time that the Central Bank of Kenya starts reviewing the high interests which is imposed on the banks so that interest rates can come down. I appeal to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance to release CDF money early enough so that we are able to implement CDF projects early enough before the campaigns for next year."
