    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, on the proposals that we have, we have tried to be as balanced as we can. We have tried to ensure that we do not introduce additional tax measures save for the small Excise Duty that we increased on beer. To ensure that the country is firmly back on the growth path, we have done everything possible to ease the burden on the average citizen while at the same time trying to ensure that additional revenues are better managed by the KRA through reforms aimed at improving compliance. These reforms are aimed at encouraging greater compliance amongst our taxpayers. We aim to simplify the administration of tax in this country and not necessarily increase taxes as a result of our desire as a nation to get more resources to fund development agenda. Once again, I thank all hon. Members for their contribution and assure them that we will continue to work closely with them to ensure that we can achieve the development agenda and objective of this nation. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir."
