"content": "I do not want to use the word used by the Member for Kikuyu, the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. He just whispered something which will not be good for the House to go by. Indeed, I appreciate the point raised by Hon. Kajwang’ that in a debate of this nature, we should have the House near full. Unless people understand ways and means, they will come and vote without first of all realising that they have already supplied. So, some of the ways and means proposed may appear unpopular out there in the streets and villages. We saw some of those reactions even yesterday. They may be unpopular. Taxation has never been popular anywhere in history of the world. If anybody got a chance not to pay taxes, they would be the happiest to live like that. So, it is a painful thing, but the responsibility still rests with this House for the republic. We either approve or disapprove. If you do not approve sufficient resources as to what you have supplied or what you have purported to supply, then you must also come up with other ways and means of raising the shortfall."
