    "content": "but what is the result? Motorcycles, the boda bodas, are charged Kshs10,000, a standard charge beyond the Excise Duty. Even if it costs 20,000 there is a standing charge of Kshs10,000. The prices increased. The Excise Duty for fuel guzzlers that we, as Members of Parliament (MPs) drive was reduced by nearly Kshs700, 000. However, a normal saloon car’s Excise Duty was increased. What are we telling Kenyans? Is it not possible that even through the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade, we could reason amongst ourselves on behalf of our people, that our people need some tax relief? Is money better off when it is in my pocket so that I decide what to spend on it or is it better with the Government to misuse it? Is it better to give it to Bruce Odhiambo or Waiguru? Is that where my money ought to go?"
