    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the amendment the Chairperson of the Committee is proposing to Clause 2. On the earlier one, though it has passed, those amendments are in order. Some of these companies, as much as we are trying to tax them highly, are huge taxpayers in this country. We need to draw a fine line between trying to raise revenue and hurting the biggest taxpayers. British-American Tobacco (BAT), for example, is the fourth largest taxpayer in this country after Safaricom, East African Breweries Limited (EABL) and Teachers Service Commission (TSC). We are truly grateful for the amendment on boda bodas . Going forward, we need to have a way through which we can further subsidise better and safer ways of transportation that the lower cadre can afford. Thank you."
