"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I beg to move: THAT, the Kenya Revenue Authority (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No. 35 of 2024), be now read a Second Time. The Bill was published on 9th July 2024. It was read for the First Time on 15th August 2024. It contains amendments that seek to support education and training by the Kenya School of Revenue Administration (KESRA), provide for the appointment of Deputy Commissioners by the Commissioner-General, and to give the Cabinet Secretary power to waive the penalties that are payable by an appointed agent who fails to transfer the funds that are collected. I will put this into perspective so that it is easier for Members to understand what the Bill is all about."

It also seeks to protect businesses and entrench fair tax administration. In a nutshell, this is what the Bill is about. Hon. (Dr) Mutunga, did you get me right? As a teacher, I sometimes have to check on my students. He could easily have been my student. I started teaching at the university before he did. Those are the key aspects of the Bill. I will go through the Bill clause by clause so that it is understood."
