    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to second the Second Reading of the KRA (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.24 of 2022). As indicated by the Leader of the Majority Party, it is true that this is a very short Bill. Its essence is just changing the name to the Kenya Revenue Service, so that it sounds friendly. I wish to congratulate the KRA and in particular the Commissioner General, Dr. Githii Mburu, and his team of Commissioners and officers. For the last 10 years, revenues which are collected by the KRA have grown from Kshs800 billion to close to Kshs1.8 trillion to date. The growth in revenues and their investment in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is phenomenal. A lot of bad things have been said about the KRA by people who have been trying to evade taxes. It is important that we support the KRA because it is the one that lays the golden egg. If the KRA was not doing a good job, we would not read all these huge budgets. 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."
