    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very clear that the Minister has not addressed the issues that I raised in my request for the Statement. Rather, he has gone ahead to delve into matters that I did not ask for, including the interest rates and what they are doing. My request for the Statement was very specific. I asked: Now that the Finance Bill has not been introduced before the House, what are the economic effects that the failure by this Parliament to pass the Finance Bill would have on our economy? I need clarification based on the Minister’s own Statement on 8th June, 2011, when he was reading the Budget Speech for 2011/2012. He did say:- “Mr. Speaker, Sir, I now turn to further caring and cushioning our people against high commodity prices. In addition to policy and expenditure measures that I have earlier mentioned which are aimed at improving the welfare of our people, I have proposed additional tax measures to cushion our economy and the people of Kenya against high commodity prices.”"
