    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker because this Question stems from your directive that you delivered last week on the Floor of this House concerning the taxes by the Kenya Revenue Authority accruing from our county and constituency offices. It is Question by private notice. Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask Question No.07/2021 by private notice addressed to the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury and Planning: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain why Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has been penalising constituency and county offices for delays in the remission of taxes due for the staff emoluments and operational expenses in these offices, yet the delays are occasioned by the fact that the Parliamentary Service Commission always receives exchequer releases from the National Treasury late? (ii) Could the Cabinet Secretary ensure that the said offices are exempted from such penalties considering that the National Treasury is usually solely responsible for the delays?"
