    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it must be good to inform my friend, hon. Duale, that under the KRA Act, I think Section 5(a), the Commissioner-General is authorized to reward people who inform the KRA about people who are evading taxes. In fact, it says:- “The Commissioner-General may, upon the recommendation of a Commissioner, reward any person for information leading to identification or recovery of un-accessed taxes and duties, providing this section shall not apply to any officer of the Authority.” Section 5(b) says:- “The reward payable under this sub-section shall be:- (a) In case of information leading to the identification of un-accessed duties or taxes, one per centum of the duties or taxes so identified or Kshs100,000, whichever is less. (b) In case of information leading to the recovery of un-accessed duties or taxes, 5 per cent of the taxes or duties recovered or Ksh2 million, whichever is less.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the KRA has got its own informers who inform it about people who are not paying taxes. That is why they have been able to increase tax collection from Kshs300 billion in 2002 to Kshs1 trillion this year."
