    "content": "Clause 57 of the Bill seek to rectify that process so that any farmer with a gross turnover of less than Ksh1 million per year is not eligible to register for e-Tims. I am also happy that we have removed tax on craft paper, because we use that paper for packaging tea. That will go a long way in ensuring that our tea is competitive and farmers get their rightful pay. The other issue is having the Housing Levy, SHIF and NSSF deductions as tax deductibles. Initially, one would be deducted PAYE before the three taxes are deducted. This means that they will be deducted first, which will put more money in employee’s pockets because PAYE will be less. On the issue of boda boda, I am happy that we will assemble motorcycles here, bringing their cost down. This will encourage more youngsters who want to go into self-employment to get some income. It is a very large community, a majority of whom are at the bottom of the pyramid. The Finance Bill is fair because we will get money for our Mau Mau roads which have stalled. This is a good thing for the people in my constituency. That is why I intend to pass the Bill. We have also allocated Ksh50 million for electrification in each constituency. I am happy for my constituency. We are also getting more money for the Coffee Cherry Fund as a result of the Finance Bill. This is a plus for all coffee farmers. We need to support farmers. Without the Finance Bill, we cannot do what we plan to do. Lastly, there was a proposal by KRA to have access to our personal data. We have proposed in our Report that KRA cannot access personal data. There is a Member who said something about the same. In the Report, we rejected that proposal. It is important we go through this Report. I heard a very good proposal from a Member to differentiate between hatching eggs and table eggs. Bring that proposal to the House so that people using hatched eggs can be differentiated. As Members, we are reasonable and we will adopt it. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
