    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will do with the two minutes, but this is how we make bad laws. The 1.5 per cent being deducted is not taking into account the fact that we are giving this money to build houses. We have very many poor people in our villages in Emuhaya, Siaya and countrywide, who also need houses. A law has not been made on how to address this particular housing scheme that will affect our people. Already, the amendment in this clause is discriminatory because it is not dealing with housing for all Kenyans. It is identifying the slums of Kenya while the majority of Kenyans do not live in Nairobi, Ruaraka or Mathare. I propose, sincerely and humbly, that the Committee deletes this amendment so that we do not overtax the workers of Kenya."
