    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, we need to be very clear at the opportune time. I also think the Chair will need to clarify. I need Kenyans to be very clear and listen clearly. Let us look at Clause 26 of the Bill that is published here, on the incentives or the waiver of income tax on gratuity and pension payments. In deleting paragraph (a) and substituting the following new paragraph: First, payment of gratuity. That means gratuity both in the public sector and in the private sector. Hon. Temporary Speaker, my time has been interfered with; you will have to add me. Secondly, other allowances paid under public pension scheme, the constructive word here is public pension scheme and I hope the Hon. Chairman is listening. He needs to clarify because he referred to all pension schemes, but the constructive words used in this Bill are public pension schemes. We need to be very clear, so that we avoid that misconception out there. My time has been stolen, but I hope it would be added so I can have a second to complete. The Bill, under Clause 36, proposes to exempt very critical ingredients, raw materials in the manufacturing sector."
