    "content": "The Member for Homa Bay Town tells me that sometimes we do not see the women’s income. When they are taxed and even if you do not see the money, they spend it on issues that if you were meant to meet, with the tax relief we are talking about, the disposable sum in your hands would have not been there if the woman was not taxed. What I am saying so that we end this debate is that this is a good thing. But the Chair of the Committee, instead of raising your hand on a point of order, go and see how we can harmonize the homes so that wives cannot be taxed in a manner in which you have proposed. You also need to discuss this with your Committee and the Cabinet Secretary so that you can give us some relief at home in terms of this taxation. The last thing as I sit down, we have done a good thing. We have given Kenyans some hope that we can collect a few billions which we can use on school fees. What I want done is, can some money be found to be paid to the doctors? Can someone address the issue to do with doctors? Can someone promise them or go to commercial banks and ask for some money? If this thing happens and doctors are out there quarrelling and they are not… You are just bringing this COVID- 19 thing down because it has not come to you. The day it will come to you, you will want all these doctors to be paid. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am very passionate about this. Can some money be found? Or can some mediation be done with the doctors so that they do not have to go strike as they are?"
