    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think my good friend, hon. Ganya, is actually unnecessarily interrupting me because I am building my contribution. I am saying that we continue to demand that more resources should go to our counties and the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). At some point, I have heard people saying that we need to give more resource to our old men and women in our regions. Therefore, we need to raise more revenue. So that I allay the fears of my good friend, hon. Ganya, I want to say that I would support this Bill but, as a Committee, we will come up with some amendments because what I read from hon. Ng’ongo, when he was moving and when he was presenting his Bill, he really wanted the poorest of the poor in this country not to suffer. I think, if we were to go in that direction, we will agree to what he has raised. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we will also look at issues that affect business because, at the end of the day, for Kenya to survive, we must get foreign direct investments. People ought to come and invest so that we sort out the problems of unemployment. We are going to look at those issues which unnecessarily affect the people so that we make this country a conducive place to do business. Every day, we continue to slide downwards. When we got reports on the issue of doing business in Kenya, we moved from number 20 to 26. Now I think we are in number 29. I think because of history and our location in this region, Kenya must be the best place to do business because of the seaport. We are located in a very strategic position The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
