    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think it is important for the House to appreciate the cadre of people we are catering for with this amendment. When we said that professionals and any businessman who goes out there and has lunch, for purposes of claiming that amount for tax deductibility, they can only be allowed up to Kshs2,400. We are saying, supposing the cost of food goes up in the course of the year; are we going to say that you will only be allowed up to Kshs2,400? We are saying it will be Kshs2,400 or such other amount as may be prescribed by the Commissioner in the course of the year. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we are giving the Commissioner that leeway until we come back to the House. The import of the amendment is to make it easier for businesses to operate, and not to give powers to the Commissioner."
