    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Hon. T. J. Kajwang’ was asking the chemistry among Hon. Junet, Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, and I this afternoon. Hon. Junet and the Chair understand what we have effectively done with the amendments that we have made in the Tax Laws (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill this afternoon. We have exempted those people who trade, import, process or sell products or services whose prices are controlled by the Government from minimum tax. Therefore, when we said that we sought to protect consumers, from tomorrow we do not expect anybody to start increasing the price of fuel or cooking gas and affecting Kenyans at a time they are suffering under this pandemic. That is the new-found chemistry that is between Hon. Nyasuna Wanga and I in protecting the consumers in Kenya. It is those consumers who have sent us to this House to speak and protect them. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support."
