    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I did not say that he was paid money but he has bought the idea. Why do I say so? It is very clear that the reason as to why the Finance Bill was withdrawn from the Order Paper today was because the banks have not allowed him to move the Bill in this House. It is sad that the business of this House is now being dictated to by people who are working in the banks, and who are fleecing Kenyans by charging them interest of over 30 per cent for money that they take from us and loan it to us. The Minister has agreed with them to control the business of this House and we cannot question him. This is very sad. I hope that when we come back from recess, we will have vigour to make sure that we hold this Government to account. I am telling the Government that some of us are proceeding to the court tomorrow to stop you from taxing us without the authority of the people’s representatives so that you can know the gravity of some of these decisions. Long gone are those days of dictatorship."
