    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I rise to seek your indulgence - that, if a Member has an amendment and it turns out to be similar to that of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning and, therefore, has to be dropped, you probably give such Member a chance to say something about the amendment because they took time to work on that amendment. I know that we have passed my amendment but I just want to thank the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning for zero-rating materials for tourism. Some of us come from counties that rely on tourism. We are just from COVID-19 and many counties are trying to revamp their tourism industries. As we know, the tourism industry earns us foreign exchange. I thank him for that. I also want to comment on what the Leader of the Majority Party said - that there was a lot of misinformation. People from his political side were going to the same media houses but they could not explain what “zero-rating” and “tax exemption” are. Of course, the media and Kenyans take what has been presented to them. In future, it is important to get expertise. They can borrow expertise from us. Someone like Hon. Mbadi can explain those terms very well and Kenyans will be convinced. Thank you."
