    "content": "have money, it is attempting to mop up that money at the easiest of places it can find it – in peoples’ pockets. Those are salaries. In business, it is where they can reach but this comes with some ambiguity. Which ambiguity? When you talk about installment tax and minimum tax, why has this Bill not expressly said what they are about? We are facing hard economic times. Even as Members of this House, let us be honest to ourselves. Not many people have money in their pockets. It is not because you are not doing what you should do, but it is because there is no money. When there is no money and you are suddenly faced with a taxing case, one thing I cannot stand and oppose is to say that the Government must run and there must be money for Government. That is necessary. Businesses have been affected. The international supply chains have been affected. So, we need things like tax reliefs, debt reliefs and debt re-scheduling as a country. For that reason, I want to listen to more explanations so that we are convinced beyond doubt that this Bill is necessary, timely and good for Kenya. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
