"content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to support the petitioners because this is a very important Petition. I urge the Committee when looking into it, they move with speed and liaise with the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs so that we can amend Section 7(3) of the Estate Duty Act. I think it is immoral by virtue of being the President to benefit from people’s contributions and be exempted from paying tax. It is a very serious omission by virtue of being in that office to let the rest of Kenyans pay taxes and your estate is exempted. This is something the Committee needs to move with speed to address. If possible, they should pay taxes retrospectively for the many years they have been exempted. Since they have big estates, they can be sold and taxes recovered from the sale. I support."
