    "content": "This Finance Bill has not forgotten the contributions of companies in corporate social responsibility. Among the items that have been allowed capital deductions are investments in the construction of schools, public hospitals, roads and such similar social infrastructure. I also assure Members who have raised their concerns about the taxing of the elderly and the very vulnerable senior citizens, that our Committee has considered this matter and at the right stage we shall be proposing amendments to ensure that we save our pensioners from that tax. Indeed, you know our Government has been at the frontline in promoting welfare of the pensioners particularly through the Inua Jamii programme, the cash transfers for the vulnerable, the ailing and our elderly citizens. I assure Members that we will be looking for their support in these amendments."
