"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am a little bit concerned that the Minister is saying that there are issues that touch on Ministries, and also new clauses in the Finance Bill. I am one of those who have a raft of amendments to the Finance Bill, some of which are very urgent. As you know, as we go around this city today, there is no paraffin and petrol. Kenyans are suffering. One of those amendments targets the hoarding of essential commodities required by Kenyans. The other one is about regulating the interest rates that the banks are using to fleece Kenyans, and it is very important. I want to say that it is good to engage the Minister. I am willing to engage him. I was with him today alongside bankers. Something has to be done urgently. I want to plead with the Minister to let us deal with this economy using legislative channels; unless we do that, our people will never forgive us. Thank you."
