    "content": "Since it is a money Bill, accountability is the basis of any meaningful achievement. Therefore, we want value for our money. As much as KRA is collecting taxes, we want to see the value for our money. We want the taxes translated into development in equal measure. Therefore, I have faith with the competence of the new Commissioner-General of KRA. We have talked about the Banking Act. I do not subscribe and I do not support uncapping of interest rates. I do not want them uncapped because banks will take advantage of us. Personally, I support the Finance Bill save for those amendments that will affect our people. I said in the morning that the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) must move with speed all over the country to fence dams because pupils occasionally drown in them. I take this opportunity to convey my heartfelt sorrow because we lost three pupils who fell into dams and died. It was a sad incident. So, I want the Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Mr. Keriako Tobiko and the Cabinet Secretary for Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Planning to take charge. Otherwise, henceforth, I will stop the construction and demand for compensation. I will demand that the Chinese compensate the victims’ families fully because it was not the wish of the pupils to die like that."
