    "content": "Kenya is in a situation where it is only people who pay through PAYE who pay the actual tax expected by the Government because they have no choice since it has to be done by the employer. However, those who have businesses and property in terms of big houses for rent and leasing in most cases do not pay the expected amount. So, I would really plead as we move forward as a country that we think on a way of bringing landlords into the tax net so that we can improve our tax collection. By doing that, we will reduce Budget deficits meaning that we will almost fund our expenditure 100 per cent. If we can get to that level, as a country, I will be the happiest Kenyan and to some extent we could also start giving loans to other needy countries. With those remarks, I support the Bill."
