We need to figure out solutions. First and foremost, I support the reduction of the Budget. I wish that the Budget and Appropriations Committee had reduced the Budget to a level where we do not require to further tax Kenyans so that we can meet that Budget. Even as I support this Motion, I wish it was more than what we are reducing. I wish we further reduced it so that we do not seem like we want to save money for Parliament or the NYS. That is what many Members have said. I wish the Budget was reduced across the board so that in the afternoon, we do not discuss issues of increasing taxation on our people. I wish there was time for us to propose amendments and discuss them. We are between a rock and hard place. As a Member of the Opposition, I oppose this particular Report."}
