    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also like to commend the staff under the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, particularly the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) under the Commissioner-General. We have seen rapid increase of total revenue collection from about Kshs106 billion to Kshs700 billion. This is commendable. I urge him to go a step further and start getting tax clearances. Before anyone is employed or vies for a parliamentary or a civic seat, he should get a tax clearance from the KRA. He should also make it compulsory for every Kenyan to have a bank account. He should ban payment of salaries in cash. All salaries should be remitted through bank accounts. He will raise more revenue if he did this. Concerning the Kazi kwa Vijana programme, this is something that we do not seem to understand. I wish that this programme had been put under the constituencies instead of the Ministries. This is because you will find that a Ministry has been allocated the Kazi kwa Vijana, money but it is not equitably distributed to the constituencies. I wish the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance could have gone ahead and placed the Kazi kwa Vijana programme under the constituencies so that it could be exploited fully."
