    "content": " Hon. Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 52 of the Bill be amended− (a) in the opening paragraph by deleting the words “section 37D” and substituting therefor the words “section 37E”; (b) in the proposed new section 37E by deleting the expression “37E” and substituting therefor the expression “37F”; (c) by deleting subsections (4) and (5) and substituting therefor the following new subsections- (4) The Commissioner shall, at least every four months, publish a notice in the Gazette, the names of the taxpayers, the relevant reasons under subsection (1) and the amount of taxes abandoned. (5) A notice under subsection (4) of this section shall be laid before the National Assembly without unreasonable delay, and a resolution may be passed by the National Assembly within twenty-one sitting days on which it next sits after the notice is so laid, that the notice— (a) be approved; or (b) be annulled and it shall thenceforth be void, but without prejudice to the validity of anything previously done thereunder. This proposed amendment is seeking to correct the referencing error to provide for safeguards in the abandonment of taxes by the Commissioner by providing for oversight by the National Assembly. Thus, the Commissioner shall be required to publish in the Kenya Gazette tax abandonment and submit the same to the National Assembly for approval."
