    "content": "even aiding or abetting an offence, obstruction of an authorised officer, offences by the officers and the staff of the Authority itself, failure to pay tax, offences by tax agents and offences relating to Personal Identification Numbers (PINs), as the Mover has just said. They are so many. Another one is penalties on failure to appear before the Commissioner. Therefore, this Bill is so simplified. As I have already said, it is actually meant to harmonise all the procedural rules applicable to administration of tax laws in Kenya. It is an important Bill. It is also good to note that under Clauses 58 to 61, the Commissioner, or the authorised enforcement officers, together with other relevant authorities, have been given powers to do inspection of goods or records and search and seize documentation and goods. There is also the procedure on how you should appear before a KRA Commissioner. In conclusion, I initially talked of harmonising all tax laws of Kenya; this Bill proposes several amendments to the existing Income Tax Act, the Kenya Revenue Authority Act and the Value Added Tax Act 2013. This is meant to remove the provisions which have been consolidated in the Bill to avoid duplication. It is of key interest to note that. With those few remarks, I beg to second."
