    "content": "premiums on vehicle insurance by almost double. It is really regrettable that he has given such a burden to Kenyans. Even though in the matatu industry there may be accidents arising for individual drivers, the incidences of accidents are not as many. Giving tax exemption to insurance companies and, on the other hand, allowing them to raise premiums and punish motorists is not conducive to the wellbeing of the majority of Kenyans. We expect that at any time the insurance companies want to raise the insurance premiums, there should be some form of public consultation, and not an in- house measure. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, all in all, I have no quarrel with the taxation measures except that for those who were late in registering their documents, the penalty on Stamp Duty should not be made any less, because we would be encouraging people not to do the right thing. However, reducing the Stamp Duty that new home owners are required to pay is commendable. Let the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance make proposals that do not take us backwards in terms of compliance. Allowing latitude not to comply is not a way of streamlining the efficiency of Government and the efficiency of the citizen in paying taxes on time. With those remarks, I beg to support."
