    "content": "I rise to support this Motion because this country must have laws. Nairobi is the capital city of this country. Anybody who comes to this country as a visitor comes to Nairobi. The major industrial area is also in Nairobi. It is our sons and daughters who have bought the matatu vehicles. There are also other people who go to do their jobs, who can be sacked by their employers because of arriving at their work places late. I want to ask our Governor in Nairobi and in other counties to consider the taxes. When they increase taxes, they must consider the fact that matatu vehicles are bought through loans. The owners repay those loans on a monthly basis. How are they going to pay taxes that keep on increasing every other time? Somebody wakes up one morning and decides to increase them. We know that other people are waiting to tell matatu owners to give them a thousand shillings, so that they can excuse them from paying the prescribed taxes. We do not want that kind of thing. We want to have laws in place."
