    "content": "Hon. Speaker, you know that I respect you very much. I want hon. Members to understand that Kenyans have reached a point where they can hardly survive. They cannot afford to educate or feed their families. They cannot afford to do anything for themselves. They cannot even afford transport. They walk to look for jobs. There is so much poverty in the country. So, that is a matter which should have brought us together. We should have reconvened here to talk about the cost of living and the suffering that Kenyans are going through. Implementation of the VAT Act should be stopped forthwith because it has caused untold suffering amongst Kenyans. Apart from the few well-paid Kenyans, the rest are suffering. We can tax the capital gains, especially those who own big properties. We should not tax the poor man anymore because he has reached the tip of the cliff. Taxing him further will cause him to tip off. If he tips off, we will be in trouble."
