    "content": "Certain things in the Finance Bill that never became an Act would have helped this country also realise very many other developmental objectives. The tax amnesty, exemption on penalties, or the waiver provision, which was in the Finance Bill is an instance. With time, I am hoping that the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning will make considerations to see how we can rescue some of the very positive things that were demonised within the Finance Bill. They would have done very well for this economy. The tax amnesty waiver easily generates close to Ksh30 billion to Ksh40 billion. At the same time, it allows business people in this country an opportunity to save from penalties by KRA because of bills they have not paid. That is because the Government is holding their money under pending bills. I pray and hope that the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, and the National Treasury, are working towards ways of rescuing some of those good things."
