    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is an important Bill and we should even continue with it in the afternoon. I want to thank Members and the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade for supporting the budgetary process of policies proposed by the Government for achievement of resilient economic growth and development that we have achieved. Our economy grew by 5.6 per cent in 2015, up from 5.3 per cent in 2014. We expect it to grow at 6 per cent this year. Despite the strong macro-economic stability that has been attained by our economy in the recent past, a lot still needs to be done to decisively deal with the challenges of unemployment, poverty, inequality, low tourism visits and the impact of a weak global economy. The tax measures and other proposed amendments contained in the Finance Bill, 2016 are aimed at addressing or highlighting the challenges that we face as a country. They are also aimed at achieving an all-inclusive economic growth, reducing the cost of doing business in our country and enhancing job creation in order to improve the welfare of the people of Kenya and foster growth and stability in the financial sector."
