    "content": "What is the Chairman of the Committee going to do? You have not even heard the Finance Bill being read here for the First Time. To the extent that this Statement makes reference to the Finance Bill, it is inchoate; it is premature. But you have a legitimate right to protest about any taxation that is not authorised by this House, Hon. Manje. So, what I will refer to the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning is to look into the issues of the taxation that you have raised here. In future, it is good that even the staff who advise you do not help you draft the Statement. I think the issue you are raising here is a very serious one. Even the member of staff who helped you to do this, unless it was done by your own researcher… I know Members of Parliament (MPs) have researchers in the constituency offices. Maybe, it was done there. It may be a person who does not know things. He just assumed that there is a law. We will refer the aspect of taxation because if it is happening, it would be illegal. It will be without any legal foundation. Unfortunately, the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning is not here. So, the Question will be responded to or the Statement issued at the earliest opportunity when the House next sits. The next Statement is by the Member for Kwale."
