    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to thank the Committee that has brought up this Bill and especially the issue of the Tribunal. From time immemorial, our people with the experience from the colonial times do not have a very good place in their hearts for tax. So, we have all the time tended to avoid tax. However, the journey we have travelled as Kenyans, we need to address some of these issues and demystify the concept of punitive taxing systems. So, I want to support this especially with the understanding that tax is important. Tax is important and that is what will enable us to grow socially, economically and even politically as a nation. However, the taxpayer is more important than tax. So, we need to provide a good place for the taxpayer and this Bill just does that – provides the opportunity for redress by taxpayers who feel that they have not been treated well."
