    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This issue has various facets. The first one which is of note is the aspect of it increasing the tax burden to Kenyans by 3 per cent. While many people are still familiar with the 3 per cent, what they are not familiar with is the penalty that is also prescribed. That, if you do not remit that 3 per cent within 30 days, there will be an additional penalty of 3 per cent so that in any one month you are in danger of having to pay 6 per cent which can be recovered by court action. Second - this bears repetition - it must be borne in mind that as the national Government endeavours to do all these, the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution in Part I and Part II makes it very clear that no matter how well intentioned the Government may be, housing still remains a county government function. The only thing that is given to the national Government is the policy. This Bill is not prescribing policy; it is prescribing the way of doing it. That will remain unconstitutional no matter how we couch it. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor"
