"content": "We are exposing Kenyans - including mama mbogas in the streets - who were promised that this Levy will only affect those who are salaried with payslips, to unnecessary harassment by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). To impose this Levy on people who do not have salaries is going to be a nightmare. What we are doing is allowing the KRA officers to be snooping and harassing Kenyans, including farmers. What this provision means is that, if you were to go to your farm, get maize and sell it, a levy is supposed to be imposed on that gross produce that you get from your shamba. They are even not removing the cost of producing maize. That is punitive and this is one of the worst legislations that can be passed in a House like this. Unless there will be an amendment to remove this or to make it non-implementable, this provision should not be allowed to stand. I do not want to go any further."
