    "content": "Hon. Chairlady, I want to support that amendment. Whereas we support and protect the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to raise taxes for this country, it is also important to protect the taxpayer. On the particular provision that says that they pay 30 per cent, I wanted zero per cent. This is because once you pay, it is very difficult to get your refund. This has been abused by the KRA, which levies the tax and knows that there is nothing you can do other than paying it. We want it to be zero per cent. We accepted 30 per cent because it was lower. Within the 90 days it should be refunded, if the ruling is in favour of the taxpayer. I wanted to add that we put an interest to be paid by the KRA. I end by saying that the mood I am seeing is that when you want to protect the ordinary person there is a lot of opposition. I accept that situation."
