    "content": "It is also possible for us to make comparisons with other countries. We cannot compare without having a base, document or benchmark. This particular policy statement brings in that benchmark, which is key for us to compare Kenya with Uganda, Rwanda, Indonesia and other countries. In our packaging for investment from other countries or foreign direct investment, we shall talk clearly on having a reliable tax regime. People will not understand the incentives unless they are clearly outlined in a policy document. They may not understand the waivers and process of claiming for the VAT they will probably pay. Some do not even know that there is claim for some of these payments. That is why this policy document is very important. To wind up, we need such a document so that people can refer to such matters correctly. There was a situation where a Member of Parliament misquoted Kenya Power. He said that there are people and regions that are charged more than others. I went through experimentation of paying for two places in different locations using the payment system."
