    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the other thing we are trying to do is that the sponsor of the Bill, as I said earlier on, wanted to touch on basic issues. He wants us to exempt some services consumed by the banks from credit reference bureaus when you borrow. The Committee felt that these are business transactions which people should pay for. The other thing is about sanitary and pest control services provided to households. These are usually provided by the Government, especially for malaria. On issues of postal services, the Committee felt that there are so many alternatives nowadays. We have SMS, emails and so many others. We are no longer in those days when we used to send letters. On the supply of electricity, we discovered that supply to households is restricted to 200 kilowatt hours. The Committee felt that these are middle class people. If we were to exempt this, we would likely lose revenue of up to Kshs5 billion by this amendment that allows 200 kilowatts hours. I want the House to be cautious in this matter and I agree The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
