They do not know if ordinary people are hurting. They simply believe, tax the Kenyan as much as you can to solve your problems. Madam Deputy Speaker, I do not believe the explanation being given out and I listened to the proceedings in the National Assembly. Unfortunately, many Members in the National Assembly were behaving like apologists of the Treasury. I heard one Member saying that this ...
