    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Finance Bill. I want to appreciate the fact that our economy has been doing well. In 2014, it grew by 5 per cent and in 2015, it went up by 5.6 per cent and it is expected to grow by 6 per cent in 2016. That shows that there is prudent financial management in the National Treasury. I would like to congratulate them. Although the Mover of the Bill stated that with this growth and strong macro-economic stability attained by our economy, there are still challenges of unemployment, poverty, inequality, low tourism visits and the impact of a weak global economy. On poverty and inequalities, I would like to urge the Ministry of Devolution and National Planning, Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) with other relevant Government agencies to carry out an audit to give a detailed poverty index survey that will include all the parameters and demographics of poverty instead of using piecemeal ad hoc reports targeted to a larger sample like the county. It is good to go into details. It will help us to eradicate inequalities especially in resource sharing."
