I am aware of the challenges that KRA is undergoing. That is why I had proposed the same amendment as the Committee to give the KRA a commission of 2 per cent; that is to allow them to retain a commission of 2 per cent and send the balance to the Consolidated Fund. It is me who is alive to this. As I said, I have a letter from the Attorney-General dated 4th October, 2012, which is today. It is signed by Mr. E.M. Ng’ang’a, the Senior Deputy Chief Parliamentary Counsel for the Attorney-General. It says exactly what hon. Abdikadir has said.
