"content": " Once it is tabled, it becomes a public document. We urge the citizenry and our colleagues to read the Report because there are three or four versions of the Finance Bill in the country. Everybody is talking about his own Finance Bill. Some will tell you that bread is being taxed. Others will tell you that shoes are being taxed. Still others will tell you that oxygen is being taxed. The Report of the real Finance Bill, which contains the recommendations, has just been tabled by the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. The Committee conducted extensive public participation. I would like to inform my colleagues and the country at large that the Report of the Finance Bill, 2025 has just been tabled. There is no other Finance Bill. Members of the public should know that they can collect the Report from Parliament and read it. They should not read the fake Finance Bill being propagated by certain people in certain villages."

Many of you will go to funerals to oppose non-existent clauses in the Bill but when you come to the House, you are nil by mouth. That is not how to legislate. Yes, Hon. Robert Mbui."

"content": " Members of Parliament and the public have been discussing the Finance Bill, so that uncomfortable contents in the Bill would be removed. I wanted to clarify that. Hon. Speaker, just before the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning comes into the Chamber, there are two major issues whose solutions we are still awaiting. First, is the disbursement of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) for this financial year. Second, is a decision by the court on the matter of the Road Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF). We should get answers so that we can comfortably listen to the Cabinet Secretary. Otherwise, we will sit here feeling bitter listening to the Cabinet Secretary giving us a story. Hon. Speaker, I do not know. Can we get responses from the Chairpersons of the NG- CDF Committee and the Budget and Appropriations Committee on those two matters? Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
