    "content": "I wish to remind Hon. Members that this is quite a departure from the policy direction that had been established by the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) administration under retired President Kibaki, which focussed more on maximising our capacity for self-financing. That included some very good measures like tightening the loopholes in the taxation arena, maximising tax revenue, widening and broadening the tax base and collecting more taxes internally so that we would then be able to finance important projects like this one using locally generated resources. At one time, this country was able to finance its development Budget to as much as 97 per cent under President Kibaki. Therefore, it is a model which we have tried before and we have no reason to revisit."
