    "content": "of trying to find out how much money you are supposed to pay as your tax obligations? We have people here in downtown whose sales in a day are in millions of shillings. People have hardware businesses. They appear like small items but the value of the property they sell is in millions and yet that income is not captured anywhere in tax system. So, you find them having a lot of money. They are not paying taxes and that person who is earning a salary as little as almost Kshs20,000 – except that we passed a law to exempt income tax for incomes less than Kshs25,000 – is paying tax. That is why we are saying let us increase budgetary allocation to the KRA and task them to invest in real measures that are going to ensure they net those people who are not paying taxes and they ensure compliance so that we have enough money to support the economy."
