    "content": "the PwDs. So, they get fake identity cards to claim that they have disabilities so that they can access KRA tax exemptions. Having said that, it is not proper to punish this constituency of people just because we have rogue people. Instead, KRA can work with us. We can give them the list of people who are trying to con the Government by evading taxes and using the PwDs as a constituency that they belong to. Going forward, as Sen. Crystal Asige keeps on highlighting certain issues that we are not aware of, it is time for us, who are able to push this agenda, to empathize with what PwDs are going through. Access to basic services is so difficult. When the Government decides that it is giving them tax exemptions, it is not because they cannot pay taxes. It is to ensure that we ease certain situations where PwDs need that extra push. I support, Sen. Crystal Asige’s Statement. I call upon KRA not to crack the whip and punish the innocent PwDs, but to go for the rogue people. That does not necessarily mean that they suspend the tax exemptions for those who need them."
