"content": " Hon. Temporary Chairlady, although this amendment seems to be very innocent, the difference between basic salary and gross salary implies that the employers and employees will reduce the basic pay payable and load all the other emoluments that are payable to the employees as allowances. For example, if you have a salary of Ksh100,000, if we change the principal from making a percentage of gross salary to a percentage of basic salary, there is nothing that will stop taxpayers from reducing the basic salary to Ksh20,000 and Ksh80,000 as allowances. Therefore, that will really defeat the whole purpose why we are setting up this Fund for the purpose of affordable and institutional housing."
