"content": "We can talk of exemption and collection of taxes if we can broaden the base for collecting our taxes without hurting the poor. We need to protect Kenyan citizens. We are in a country where our social protection systems are really in dire need. For instance, solar energy should be made very cheap and affordable. Cooking gas must also be zero rated. The cost of paraffin should be reduced because we are going towards green energy yet we are introducing taxes on gas. If you introduce taxes on gas, especially for us who are environmentalists who conserve Mau Forest, we may be forced to invade Mau Forest for firewood because the Government has decided to increase taxes on available solar energy."
