    "content": "Nothing can be far from the truth. There is a big tax revenue shortfall from the 2023/2024 Financial Year. The policy underpinning revenue or tax collection in this country, and especially in this administration, is wanting. There is very little that has been said in terms of what measures have been put in place to seal the loopholes on corruption, which would lead to higher yields, as opposed to imposing more taxes on everything. I also want to speak on the policy disconnect of the BETA agenda of this Government. I sit on the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry, and Cooperatives. On the two places where you can get more employment for the youth in this country, in ICT and digital economy, they have levied taxes. They have now come with the position that they have listened to Kenyans, reduced the tax on bread, and removed the Eco Levy. The fact of the matter is that this was a long con. The real Bill is what is in the Report."
