    "content": "I had spoken briefly to the gist of this amendment when I was replying. There is a rearrangement of the tax bands. The reason for the rearrangement is to protect those who earn Kshs 24,000 and below. If we just reverted without rearranging the bands, we would expose them to tax as was the case earlier before COVID-19. We have circulated simulation of how the vulnerable are protected. For example, if you were earning Kshs 25,000 in the old regime before COVID-19, your taxes per annum would have ended up being Kshs 16,000 but with this protection of this new band system, we would only pay a tax of Ksh 3,000 per annum. This is for the protection of the vulnerable. I beg to move."
