    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also wish to support this Finance Bill, 2017. This is a routine Bill. In real sense, it is meant to give effect to Government’s fiscal policy. The problem is that once you get it wrong at the policy formulation, then you can never correct it through the Finance Bill. I have been struggling to understand the direction the Jubilee Government wants to take this country through its fiscal policy, but I am unable to get anything. Unlike the Kibaki regime, which was very clear in matters of economy, this Government has had serious problems in convincing Kenyans that it is interested in addressing the economy of this country. This Bill, of course, encompasses the matter of excise duty, Value Added Tax (VAT) and Income Tax; the main facets of a fiscal regime."
