    "content": "Having said so, I want to support the amendment by hon. Nyokabi; globally Kenya ranks 164 out of 185 countries in tax compliance because of distortions and leakages due to corruption. The KRA staff themselves are complacent in most of the cases of corruption. A member of staff can tell you that you have defaulted but if you do not want to pay, you can pay something small. In order for us to achieve the objective of this Bill, which is not only to increase revenue collection but also overhaul the entire VAT system and the VAT regime, we must support this amendment. Companies spend more than 234 hours just trying to comply. It gives a lot of problems to our companies. Therefore, there must be penalties that are hefty to members of staff or anybody else who is complacent in such crime, as described very well in this amendment."
