    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, at long last I get an opportunity. I must thank you. I have been listening to my colleagues contribute to this Bill. A lot of good things have been said. I will try to just add value so that I do not have to use the 10 minutes. I will focus on areas that have not been covered by many Members. Let me start by appreciating the Committee. The Committee has done a good job. I also want to appreciate Kenyans. From the list of those who sent input into this Bill, we can tell that public participation is very effective. I must thank Kenyans for having such interest in this Report and Bill. Looking at the tax proposals, we must agree that the National Treasury, together with the Budget and Appropriations Committee, have done a commendable job. Looking at the times and, these are very challenging times, it is very difficult to have such a very simple Finance Bill when we expect people to collect more money so that we finance the emergencies coming with the COVID-19 pandemic and other regular development programmes. When you look at what has happened, we really must say that the Committee and the National Treasury have done a good job. It is going to be very easy for Kenyans. When I was asked about this Bill, I said in simple terms that we did not have really major losers in terms of budgeting this The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
