    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the amendment of the VAT Bill. Last weekend, I went home and I was confronted by some old people asking me how come Members of Parliament are not fighting for them on the issue of the cost of basic commodities. We do not want a Government which is so insensitive to the plight of the people who voted it in overwhelmingly. We do not want to create a vacuum between the rich and the poor. There are people who even work for Kshs100 per day. There are some families which eat bread and take milk once a month. This time round, I do not expect them to have them even for the next three months. So, I support that amendment, so that our people can access the basic commodities."
