    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am sorry about that. I thought the Question had been answered. Starting with the latter, Mr. Odhiambo was paid Kshs450,279.20 under Section 5(a) of the KRA Act which provides that the Commissioner- General may upon the recommendation of a Commissioner reward any person for information leading to the identification or recovery of unassessed taxes or duties. This provision is available to every Kenyan and not necessarily to Mr. Odhiambo. So, Mr. Odhiambo exercised his right to avail information to the KRA under this section. Many others have also done so. Let me also take this opportunity to encourage Kenyans that if they have any information on somebody who is not paying his or her taxes, please, refer the matter to the KRA and you will get a reward. We need to get revenue as much as possible. Regarding information that Mr. Odhiambo gave to KRA, I clearly said that what he did was just to send bank balances. Bank balances, and I emphasize that, does not necessarily mean that there is any tax which is not paid. It does not even mean that there is any tax which is even assessed."
