    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also wish to support this Bill brought by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. This is one of those bills that must be brought before the Floor of the House. It is a Bill that has almost become customary in its provisions on how we deal with it. I have gone through the Bill and members have spoken about the specific provisions. I would like to start from what I think is important to this country moving forward. We need to get ways of baking a bigger and richer cake for us to share. For us to bake a bigger and richer cake, we cannot always do the same things we have been doing before and hope that we are going to raise more revenue for the country to run well. We must try to go to the uncharted grounds and waters. This country is rich in natural resources and investments that are publicly owned. Some of our parastatals are among the richest in this region but we do not get much money from them; we do not get much money from our parastatals where so much investment has gone into. In this Parliament, we have passed the Mining Bill and the Petroleum (Exploration, Development and Production) Bill. How much is coming from these investments? How much money are we raising from natural resources like oil? How much does KenGen, the National Oil Corporation of Kenya"
