"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, when we went to Kakamega County two or three years ago, there was a proposal - I think this was in the Finance Bill that was before the assembly - to tax anybody who owned chicken. In that county if you do not own chicken, you are considered a foreigner. There was supposed to be huge tax for the owners of chicken, livestock and trucks bringing sugar, which is the bedrock of the economy of that region. There was also a tax on private funerals. These are things that the executive cannot sit in a corner and decide on without having some element of public participation and participation of the people who have been elected by the public to represent their interests."
