    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like hon. Members to understand the dilemma. First of all, the information that is given to the KRA under Section 5(a) is based on the fact that it will be treated in utmost confidentiality. That is the only basis on which people give that information. If we disclose the bank balances of customers, again, we will be revealing confidential information which again is against the Banking Act. Suffice it to say that I am admitting that what Mr. Odhiambo did was simply to extract bank balances and take them to the KRA and state that those are the taxes which were not paid. He was told that bank balances was not evidence of unpaid tax. It is not even evidence of unassessed tax. Therefore, that information itself was meaningless and worthless. If we go more than that, then we will be revealing customer details of bank customers and as you know banking is an industry based purely on confidence."
