    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for recognising me. At the outset, I want to thank Hon. Omar Mwinyi for coming up with this Motion. As they say, experience is the best teacher. Hon. Omar Mwinyi has had problems with law enforcement agencies before, when he was opposing the views of retrogressive governments. Occasionally, he was arrested and sought this document but was not able to get it. This Motion is coming at an opportune moment when his Excellency the President is giving an indication that he is serious about corruption in this country. These are issues that should be a thing of the past in a society like Kenya where we have had democratic governments for the last 50 years. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is no reason why the Government should impose more levies on citizens, and more so, people who are already overburdened by various taxes. I believe that if we check the statute laws in our country, we will find that this is catered for. All the aspirations of the Constitution and all the programmes of the Government in this country are done with a lot of zeal. However, we always create very little room for supervision, maintenance and oversight. We have police officers and doctors serving at the county and national levels. We also have chiefs who are being paid by the Government. Most of the chiefs who access and distribute P3 Forms live far away from a police station.
