    "content": "they could report that from their observation they do not need to delve into the details as to why the accounts were frozen because there is a procedure for the County Assembly to sit with the Treasury and thrash out the issues. I disagree with those who say that all petitions should not come to this House, because the ability to sieve and appreciate the constitutionality and the challenges that are therein is in this House. The citizens out there depend on this House to tell them that at this level they should have gone to the Commission on Administrative Justice or the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) and they did not need to come to the Senate. It is this House that can advise a petitioner on the direction to take. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, the KRA Act - I cannot remember the Section now - requires employers to perform the responsibility of remitting taxes. None of us sitting here receives the money due to our accounts, so that you sit down and start deducting your taxes. It is the responsibility of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) to do so. It is possible – I am not saying that is the position – that, perhaps a county assembly, Vihiga for that matter, refused to deduct taxes on allowances or salaries and so on. Therefore, the KRA should take that responsibility for the interest of the country."
