    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other issue is on the Kenya Revenue Authority Act, 1998, which says that we need to increase the reward given to those people who will give information regarding those people, institutions or companies that evade paying taxes. Before, it was Ksh100,000, now it is going to be Ksh500,000. I agree with my colleague who said that there must be proper procedures and mechanisms on that because one can just use it politically to defame your name or to put you in problems. Also, business rivalry can play part on that issue. So, there must be a proper legal framework or procedures which are going to be put in place regarding such issues. I know there are many issues regarding tax compliance. Too many people, even after we have enacted too many laws and regulations, are evading paying taxes. This Bill has sealed very many gaps. At least, we can have some collections to ensure that we render services to Kenyans."
