    "content": "Hon. Speaker, in order to support farmers who rear cows as well as pastoralist communities who depend on sale of hides and skins, I propose to reduce the export levy on the raw hides and skins from 80 per cent or USD 0.5 per Kg to 50 per cent or USD 0.32 per Kg. Hon. Speaker, on the amendments to enhance tax administration procedures, Government agencies are expected to be sensitive and responsive to emerging customer needs. In this respect, the KRA has been on a journey of transformation to enhance customer-centric service delivery. In order to align the operations of the Authority to this emerging trend, I propose to amend the Kenya Revenue Authority Act to change the name of the Authority from ‘Kenya Revenue Authority’ to ‘Kenya Revenue Service’. The change of the name is intended to rebrand the Authority and transform its public image, thus enhance tax compliance through improved public relations and maintain a clear focus on taxpayers’ needs. I have also proposed consequential amendments to other statutes which have reference to the name ‘Kenya Revenue Authority’ and align them to the proposed new name."
