    "content": "country. The other issue is that all the goods produced in SEZs will be treated as being within the customs-controlled area. That is a plus, especially for SEZ manufacturers when taxes are required. So, they will only be charged tax if those products move out of the controlled area. Regarding Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs), the Kenya Industrial Research and Development (KIRDI) Act is also being amended to ensure that MSMEs benefit from tax incentives that people require to benefit. This goes together with the Startup Bill laid on the Floor of the House, which we have already debated. The tax incentives that the MSMEs will enjoy under these laws that have come up will be enormous. The last issue that the business laws will look at is the electronic single window system in situations where some companies are exempted from taxation. However, because the single window system did not allow such exemptions, they are still forced to pay levies to use the single system. An example is the persons with disabilities. They are exempted from paying taxes, but when importing an item and using a single window system, they must pay the levies required of the system. Therefore, these exemptions will allow persons with disabilities to enjoy the tax exemptions already given under the Income Tax Act (Cap 47) to pass through the national electronic single window. The Business Laws (Amendment) Bill will benefit the businessman and the consumer, who is the biggest gainer. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support."
