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

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…

Kenya has obligations. We have tp pay our international obligations in terms of debt. We're approaching our debt limit, we cannot afford to borrow more. We must find where this money shall come from. - @KiarieJohn #BungeLiveNA

We have an obligation on recurrent expenditure. We have an obligation on development. The social goods that our people require in the constituencies. - @KiarieJohn #BungeLiveNA

I see a Finance Bill in front of us that is a balance between walking the path towards self dependence and making sure that we injure our constituents. - @KiarieJohn #BungeLiveNA

For the welfare of society and the just government of the people, we're here to make hard decisions because leadership calls for us to make hard decisions. - @KiarieJohn #BungeLiveNA

Finance Bill is one hard decision that if we make today, we shall be proud many years down the line. - @KiarieJohn #BungeLiveNA

And if even those opposing it today, shall want to associate with the success that shall rise from the benefits that shall accrue from the Finance Bill that we're just about to pass- @KiarieJohn #BungeLiveNA
