    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, let me begin by thanking Sen. Sakaja for thinking about these low income young traders. However, I think the problem is really us. It is not even the Commissioner-General of taxes but it is the House that makes the laws. I want to advise my good friend Sen. Sakaja, you should look for a friend in the National Assembly and try to push this agenda so that both Houses can be talking about the same thing because you know very well that the Government needs to make some money. I feel sad for these people because the county government, the KRA and COVID- 19 will be after them. Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to beseech that you commit this Statement to the relevant committee, but we also have to now think outside the box. We can invite the Commissioner-General of taxes and have a conversation with him on how we can be able to suspend the implementation of the Act because when we make laws, those laws must be enforced. There is a thin line between the enforcement of the laws and dealing with the current situation."
