On behalf of the Chairperson of the Committee on Delegated Legislation and the Members, thank you. Tax exemption sets a very bad precedent in this country, and we should punish those who do not pay taxes instead of encouraging them. In this Motion, a company was exempted from paying taxes. At the moment, we are struggling to collect taxes through the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). If we continue allowing people to avoid paying taxes, we will face significant challenges in securing funds for development. Therefore, as a House, we should discourage tax exemptions. I beg to reply."
