    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Bill. The Government needs money to run the country. For it to do that, it must collect taxes. I congratulate the person who brought this Bill because we have been waiting for it for a long time. I would like to request the Mover to consider some areas. Recently, the KRA introduced taxes from landlords without considering the fact that some of the landlords have obtained loans to put up buildings. They take years before they can earn anything out of the loans that they have taken. Many people are coming into our country and the Government should come up with a mechanism to control our ports. A lot of things are being brought in through our ports. If you visit the Port of Mombasa, you will find many goods are being brought into the country. However, when you look at what is collected at our ports, you wonder what happens. Most of those goods are not for the Government."
