    "content": "At the outset, I support this Bill basically because it reduces the burden on the common Kenyan and increases the burden on the society’s Mabwenyenye . Those who can afford land are the cream of our nation and when we tax them, very soon we will collect enough taxes to the extent that we may end up reducing taxation on basic commodities such as food, fuel, clothes and farm inputs. Our farmers are suffering due to high taxation of very basic farm inputs like fertilisers and jembes . Taxing those who can afford land is not only good for our nation, but it is also biblical. Leviticus 25:23 says that land must not be sold permanently but should be hired or leased. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you know English came in a ship and some of it fell in the ocean on its way to Mombasa. From Mombasa to my home area in Maasai land, you can imagine what happened."
