"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I want to say that I fully support this Bill. It is unfortunate that we are not many in this House when we are dealing with such a very important Bill. This Bill is to authorize the Government to tax us as Kenyans so that we can build this country. Without taxes, there is nothing much we can do. We cannot even be free as a country. So, we must always pay tax as a people to run our affairs. That is how we can get our true freedom. I am happy when I see the Head of State being in the USA, not to beg for donor assistance, but to look for investors. I believe that is a very good initiative because what we need in this country is to build it through investments and partnership; but not going on begging missions. So, I support it."
