    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair. We must oppose this amendment because the whole premise of having a levy coming from the public to be able to pay off our loans is wrong. The SGR’s operational costs are being run by a private entity. They are not being run by Government. So, when you give them a carteblanche to use the money to pay for operations, then you really do not have a cap on the operational costs. You are all of a sudden going to stare at a levy which is going to get bankrupt. The time we will need to pay our external obligations as per agreement, we will not have any money for it. So, we cannot support that public funds be utilised in a way that is not transparent. This amendment must fall. It must fall because it is not in the interest of the Kenyan people. It must fall. I do not support."
