    "content": "This country will grow when we learn to be disciplined, to put our mouths where our monies are and not to let down Kenyans even where it is very clear that we are doing it. You have heard that we will still put some money in the railway line and yet it is making losses. I have heard Members saying that we are widening the tax bracket and taxing betting. We are still taxing imports in the 21st Century. Let me tell you something that happened. We banned the use of polythene paper. We said that we do not want them. We said that we would encourage the use of the normal paper bags for packaging. We are a member of Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA). So, Egyptians will import the raw materials of making paper from India and Oman at zero per cent. Our producers of paper export that raw material and when they get to the border, they are charged 25 per cent. Because we are in COMESA, on a good day, any paper product from Egypt starts at 25 per cent cheaper because we are levying 25 per cent on raw material and Egypt is not doing the same. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I request for a minute to finish my contribution."
