    "content": " I thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. By guidance of the Speaker, I raised a Question by Private Notice here on Tuesday. I believe there are rules that guide such types of Questions in terms of time to respond. This was relating to the very punitive penalties proferred by the Kenya Revenue Authority on levying taxes to our constituency and country offices. In cases where the National Treasury has delayed remitting monies to the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) which consequently goes to our offices, the KRA has always proffered very high penalties. I asked that Question on Tuesday. It was cascaded to the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. I expected to get a response this afternoon. It puzzles me that the KRA is a department within the National Treasury. It should know when those delays are in place. This is Government to Government and so, I do not understand The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
