    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was saying that while we need money to develop the railway, the compounded cost of imports would go up by 5 per cent. So, we are making the lives of Kenyans more expensive, but I support it. At the Committee Stage, I will move to remove the 10 per cent transfer fee with the banks. The person who has an account in the bank is the one who bears this cost. Any amount that the bank charges you on a levy, they collect 10 per cent to the Government of Kenya. Even the CDF account and the county governments, this money is going to be levied. Why should the Treasury try to disturb Kenyans who are working so hard? Some of this money that we are going to be given for the CDF is intended to help the poor people. At the Committee Stage, I will move an amendment to have this deleted. We will move the Bill by hon. Mbadi on Capital Gains, so that it is included. If there is a shortfall in the Budget, this should be covered by that."
