    "content": "setting up of this Fund. Let us not throw the baby out with the bath water before you even understand what this Fund is all about. Let us go step by step in the same logical framework and then Members will have an opportunity to raise those issues. They had the opportunity to bring that issue earlier. We are not creating the Fund here. At this point, we are saying that any contribution to this Fund will be tax deductible. Let us first agree on that then when we come to the creation of the Fund, which can become another debate. Let us not start killing things before we have even created the Fund. By the time you create the Fund, you will find that the contributions you make to it will not be tax deductible. That means it will cost you more and you will not be able to get the tax benefit. We will be letting down Kenyan workers if we start killing the only vehicle that will give them decent housing, a pension in the future and even get their employers to contribute to their savings for the future."
