    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I would also like to support the standing down of this Bill. I presented a Report on the Floor of this House from the Parliamentary Budget Office on the implications of exemptions on our revenue-raising efforts. It says we lose about Ksh300 billion annually from our ordinary revenues because of exemptions. Therefore, it will be bad for this House if we continue to do the same, knowing very well that we are unable to raise revenues. We are even projecting to raise about Ksh2.8 trillion this coming financial year, but we cannot do it with these exemptions. I beseech the House that, going forward, we should never allow exemptions that cannot be explained. Therefore, I support the Leader of the Majority The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
