"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the postal services, communication is actually a must. We need to have cheap communication. In fact, we need letters delivered at our doorsteps like in the USA and other developed countries. The Jubilee Government is on the way to giving free connections to homes so that we attain the 5000 megawatts and add that to the national grid. When we put VAT on connection of 200 kilowatts of electricity, which is for domestic consumption, we burden our people. Removing VAT on it will make electricity affordable in the short-run and make the Jubilee Government’s manifesto achievable. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we need water drilling services in dry places like where hon. Nkaissery comes from, to be almost free. All taxes should be removed so that cows can stop dying in Kajiado County. The Kenya Rural Roads Authority should provide services. I am proposing that this is required now and not tomorrow. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support."
