"content": " Bwana, I am a Member of Parliament for Emuhaya Constituency. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank Hon. Members who sat through the sittings since yesterday. They participated well and the debate was good. Some clauses, for instance, the clause on limiting of the Private Members space did not require a lengthy debate this afternoon. Its debate had been exhausted yesterday. Again, today many Members, including the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committees sat through out to follow the proceedings. The contributions made were from across the aisle, which was very good. That means that the Finance Bill is acceptable to the entire House. There was a lot of consultation and public participation, and the people’s views were put into consideration. Therefore, I want to thank the Members for a job well done. Indeed, like the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning indicated, the Finance Bill should not only be a tax raising measure, but should also direct policy. Our economy needs to be resilient so that we can go for the vertical expansion of the tax space. However, for now, we will deal with the horizontal bit so that we can build resilience for our economy. I support."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to join Hon. Colleagues in appreciating the good work that was done by the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning and the contributions of the Members in today’s Committee of the whole House stage. It has been very enlightening. I appreciate that the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning dropped some amendments for the sake of the country. There are things that were mentioned yesterday during debate that are not in the Bill that can improve our financial management and revenue raising measures. In a more summarised way, I just want to mention three items. The first one is on the revenue leakages. As we appreciate the fact that KRA needs to collect more taxes, it is also important to ensure that whatever is collected from Kenyans is managed prudently for the sake of the country because it is a result of hard work. The second item is that there are many Kenyans who are not paying taxes because our economy is more informal. We must ensure that we bring as many Kenyans as possible to the tax bracket so that we have more people paying taxes. We should also reduce the tax rates so that people have more money in their pockets. That can trigger economic activities in the country that can lead to economic growth that will be good for the country. The third item is that there was a proposal to review our PAYE packs from a certain organisation. I still insist that the Chairman and the Committee take that matter seriously. It is a progressive proposal and if we implement it, it will be good for the country. Thank you, Hon. Members for all the contributions you have made to this Bill."
