    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I listened to the answers by the hon. Minister, I thought the Ministry was handling these companies with a velvet glove. Allow me, being the hon. Minister’s senior in our learned profession, to remind him of three concepts in taxation and corporate law, which he does not appear to have addressed his mind to. One is lifting the corporate veil, which allows KRA to go behind the incorporation of the company and find out who the real directors are. He does not appear to have addressed his mind to that. Secondly, in taxation law, tax avoidance is not an offence while tax evasion is a criminal offence. Tax avoidance is not. Under these circumstances, what has the Minister done to involve the concept of lifting the veil and deal with the issues of tax avoidance and tax evasion?"
