    "content": " Thank you very much for giving me an opportunity to speak, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Thank you, Hon. Kawanjiku, for coming up with this very important Motion. Without going too far, this country is in dire need of revenue. I am a Member of this Committee. From what the Committee has presented to this House, we should have acted yesterday, not today, and not tomorrow. We should have acted yesterday and if possible, summoned the Commissioner for Income Tax to appear before the Committee, and asked the EACC to investigate what is happening. We should not give preference to anybody. Our country is very competitive. As someone has mentioned, and it is quite true, we are seeing many companies moving out of our country. Kenya was one of the best countries for doing business in East Africa. I was once a regional sales and marketing manager for Kodak, which is an American company and I was in charge of 13 countries in this region. If you went anywhere and said that you were from Kenya, you would get a good reception. They would say how far our country had gone. It is time for us to think of the past and move forward. Our country is losing its good name and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
