    "content": "The majority who were of the opinion that we amend the law and give relief to Kenyans carried the day. I want to remind the House that this country has operated with this tax regime that we are restoring today for the last 10 years. We are not introducing any new taxes. We gave relief in the spirit of the pandemic that was facing our country. We now want to revert back to the tax regime that we have been operating with as a country. I agree with the Members that our country faces a very difficult time - which is an international phenomenon. The Coronavirus pandemic has caused havoc not only in Kenya, but also in the whole world. The world’s biggest economies like the United States of America (USA) and Europe are going through recession because of the effects of COVID-19 pandemic. There are many people who have registered as being jobless in the USA today. Over 4 million people have registered with the USA Government seeking for help. Those are economies that are million times bigger than this country. There are people who have registered being jobless in the European Union (EU). Those economies are bigger than this country. You cannot compare them with our country."
