    "content": "We must be very careful about the wording because many people are still pained by the taxation levels in the country. Section 31 states that this increased revenue reflects optimism in the ongoing tax policy reforms and enhanced revenue administration measures. That is not the truth because many people out there have been complaining that they have much less disposable income as a result of increased taxation. We must be careful about how we word these issues so that people do not remember the pain that they are feeling. There is also an increase in Appropriations-in-Aid, which is not a positive thing because it means that the cost of Government services will go up. Therefore, some of our people may not be able to afford basic services. We should not celebrate an increase in revenue and collections by Government agencies and forget that, that money is coming out of the pockets of Kenyans who were promised that they would have much more money."
