    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to speak about this Motion on the Value Added Tax (Digital Market Place Supply) Regulations 2020. We are all aware that most of the big digital suppliers like Amazon and Alibaba operate in this country. These companies do not pay VAT or Corporate Tax. This brings unfairness to the local firms because most of the Kenyans buy from there and these companies do not pay tax to this country. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as we speak, tax revenue as a percentage of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has gone down from 25 per cent in 2013 to around 13 per cent currently."
