Kuria Kimani","speaker":null,"content":" Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I beg to move that the New Clause 30A be now read a Second Time. A quick explanation is that this amendment is to deal with challenges of bad debts and VAT refunds. A brief explanation is that we have a tax of about Ksh390 billion we cannot collect. Some of it is bad debts and VAT refunds. This clause is supposed to do a clean-up and ensure that the bad debts are not collectable because those companies have gone into statutory management and written off."}
