    "content": "It is also important to note that we already have sufficient laws to support tax collection in this country. The challenge is in the tools and systems being used by our Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) team. This particular Finance Bill speaks about it and encourages the Commissioner General of KRA to put in place proper systems and mechanisms. The other day, I noted that in the budget, they were asking for additional funding to improve their systems to enable them reduce on leakages, corruption and losses arising from the weak systems currently in place. If we do that, we will reduce under collection and maximise the revenue targets that we give every year without stressing Kenyans. In my view, that is the main issue that this Finance Bill is speaking about. As a Committee, we wish to invite members of the public, especially the stake holders who had the opportunity to engage with us, to read today’s Report from the Chairman. This Report reflects more than 80 per cent of what members of the public proposed on Value Added The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
