    "content": "Accountants, all the audit firms in the Republic of Kenya, the Law Society of Kenya, and individual consultants were all listened to. If you read our report, you will see that all their contributions and comments have been captured, and these will ultimately translate into the proposed amendments. This Bill, as I mentioned earlier, seeks to amend four tax laws. One of them is the Income Tax Act. There are several good provisions in this Bill that directly affect Kenyans, especially those who are employed. If you can remember, we passed the housing levy but we have not corrected the Income Tax Act. What the Bill says is before you compute the taxes, you must less the housing levy and the social health insurance deduction. What that means is that finally when you compute your taxes it will be less, therefore, your take-home on the payslip will improve."
