    "content": "The other area is the Pay As You Earn (PAYE). Now we are talking about relief to the greater economy, especially in the light of the increase that we have had in the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) rates. People earning below Kshs35,000 should be exempted from paying PAYE Tax. Instead we can choose to have a consumption tax regime or direct taxes. I believe that they will be shouldered within the economy by adding 2 percentage points on Value Added Tax (VAT). If it goes a consumption tax, people will be greatly shielded from this sort of hiccup because a lot of Kenyans are suffering due to those other increases which occur, and which are levied on their salaries. This will be a major relief."
