Charles Nguna","speaker":{"id":13445,"legal_name":"Charles Ngusya Nguna","slug":"charles-ngusya-nguna"},"content":"Kenyans. The 1.5 per cent housing levy is a lot. There is no way we are going to finance housing especially by the people working upcountry to finance people in urban centre to have a housing scheme. I urge the President to come up with a better method of raising revenue to fund the housing scheme. He can introduce the issue of levying cement and other construction materials but not overtaxing Kenyans."}
