    "content": "First, you will remember that when COVID- 19 hit us early this year people were in a panic mode. We did not know what to do including the Government. When the Executive made pronouncements regarding the various intervention strategies that would be employed to help cushion the economy and help the country in dealing with the effects of COVID-19, one of those measures included various proposals in adjusting the tax rates. The VAT was one of them. Others were the Corporate Tax and the individual tax rates. Those were taxes that were proposed for adjustment to the benefit of Kenyans. So, this House did agree with the Executive in the various measures and strategies that were developed or employed to ensure that the economy was cushioned."
