That 16% fuel levy is the poison chalice that is in this #FinanceBill2023, Mr Speaker. Once we implement the 16% on fuel levy, everything else we go up in this country. Let us not hide ourselves or close our eyes to reality. - @JunetMohamed #BungeLiveNA Image
Let us not accept. I'm told the proposal might be from IMF, from where...let us not care. This House must stand together and must stand with the people of Kenya because we must make life bearable for them. That is our work, that is why they elected us. -@JunetMohamed #BungeLiveNA
Can I tell the Majority Leader that the housing levy that he has alluded to in the Azimio Manifesto is completely different from what is in this Bill. - @JunetMohamed #BungeLiveNA
Our housing levy was modeled in accordance with the Singapore model, where were supposed to collect money cheaply, affordably in a manner that is bearable to the people of the Republic of Kenya. Not this one of collecting through the nose. - @JunetMohamed #BungeLiveNA

I am actually surprised that after they've won the election, the "ground" does not seem to matter and those people don't seem to matter. I just want to warn them that if you don't listen to the ground right now, kitawaramba when the time actually comes. - @Lesuuda #BungeLiveNA Image
I want to tell the same hustlers who have been forgotten that once the 16% fuel levy is increased, they will really feel the pinch because the cost of living will actually go up and even the cost of manufacturing will go up. - @Lesuuda #BungeLiveNA
We're saying we're creating jobs but if the manufacturers and the investors will run away from this country, how will we be creating employment. - @Lesuuda #BungeLiveNA

For seven years we've been kicking the can of taxation down the road hoping that the next dispensation shall solve the problems we're causing. - @KiarieJohn #BungeLiveNA Image
This Finance Bill that has been adjudicated in the court of public opinion has been laden with a lot of misinformation. People have been going to tv stations, funerals and meetings in their constituencies prosecuting matters that are not even in the Finance Bill. - @KiarieJohn… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The first thing I'd like to ask is that we all acquaint ourselves with the content that is within the Finance Bill. As we talk, about one or two taxes that are going to be raised, we should also be talking about the 21 odd taxes that are due for reduction. - @KiarieJohn… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

We didn't take an oath to lie, we took an oath to defend the Constitution. The first thing I looked at when I read the report of the committee was to look at the submissions. I am aware of KUPPET, KNUT, from other people including farmers in my constituency. They're not attached.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
The people of Kenya have spoken in public forums and said this Finance Bill is oppressive. As a Parliament we're left with one thing to do...to relook at it and say this one wamekataa, can we give them what they want. - Hon. Nabii Nabwera #BungeLiveNA
I want to help my colleagues, is it true that there are no other ways of raise the money? The answer is no. I serve in the Public Accounts Committee and if we were just to close the taps of pilferage, we raise Ksh 600 billion...the money we're looking for. - Hon. Nabii Nabwera… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

For the welfare of the society and the just government of the people, I rise to oppose. - @hon_wamuchomba #BungeLiveNA Image
For the welfare of the people of Kenya that qualifies them to eat well, eat three meals a day...that is the way to make the welfare of our people better. - @hon_wamuchomba #BungeLiveNA
For the welfare of the society and the just government of our people, it is our business as the representatives of this House to make sure that our people live happily, improve their welfare and make them feel they're sovereign according to the Constitution. - @hon_wamuchomba

We need to look at the basics. Kenyans do not have food, we're telling them how to house them. While defending this, the other side has spent a lot of time trying to tell us that this is an opportunity to create jobs for the youth. - @CGisairo #BungeLiveNA Image
Can you tell us exactly what this levy is? Is it a job creation levy or a housing levy? We've changed it from a contribution to a levy, moved it from a provision where after 7 years, the contributors had a way out or to stay in clause - @CGisairo #BungeLiveNA
Now it's a levy which makes it a tax generally. That side as they sit there, they're at pains. They're trying to convince Kenyans the unconvincable. They're telling us that it's us who are trying to explain to the masses, the masses are not illiterate. - @CGisairo #BungeLiveNA
