land, in order to have identity. I am not saying other things superintend, but we must look at it. I support this Statement. The Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources, Sen. Methu, is here. He can handle this issue and ensure those people from that region are compensated. I am a founder of UDA and was a member of the Jubilee Party before. I can confirm that we believe in the capacity of all our Members. Even if you do not see us occupying any seats in this House, we are still more powerful than ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, did you see Sen. Chimera disappear and came back having changed his coat? I do not know what he is hiding in the House. He has just crossed the Floor to the other isle without bowing. Interestingly, he has changed from his lighter colored coat to a darker one.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My sister, Sen. Kibwana, has raised an issue of VAT. She is prophesizing because the Finance Bill (2023) is looking to increasing VAT on fuel products from 8 per cent to 16 per cent.

Many companies want to be paid because they gave fuel subsidies. That process was abused. Mr. Speaker, Sir, for any sane and economic person, the fuel and unga subsidy should be removed because it was not sustainable. It behooves all of us that we cannot survive on subsidies. We better subsidize production over consumption. For example, if you talk about food security, we better give farmers in Nyamira subsidized fertilizer to produce more bananas to be consumed in Nairobi as opposed to giving us unga that is subsidized. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with all due respect, this Statement by Sen. Kibwana ...
