    "content": "going forward. That way, our people will get jobs, because, as you know, the ICT is a leading sector when it comes to creating employment opportunities. I will be very keen, going forward, to see what we can do--- The very key thing is about harmonizing our taxes across the region. We are one country right now in the East African Community. We need to ensure that taxes in Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda, are more or less at the same level; we should not have too many disparities. A business man in Kenya bidding for a tender in Kigali should have the same chance as a brother in Tanzania, Burundi or Uganda. That is the way we should be looking at things, because bidding is a game of numbers. The numbers are in East Africa and not just in Kenya. We should be considering how to look at it because the East Africa Community is a reality; that is really key to me. A lot has been said and I appreciate hon. Mbadi for making a passionate appeal for the defenseless and the poor people in terms of basics. Our country is one where we have to ensure that we get the basic rights in terms of food for people and malaria drugs; I come from a malaria infested area in Malindi around River Sabaki. These measures are very key and I am here passionately supporting them. We have to do right; we have been given this opportunity again after what we did last year. Let us use this moment to do right for our country and our people. With those few remarks, I rise to support."
