    "content": "taxation and you want the economy to do well. All that we need to do as a House is to make sure that we balance our debt and taxation level. I want to go on record. When President Moi was leaving power in 2002, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) was collecting close to Kshs600 billion. Today, we are proud of KRA. They surpassed the Kshs1 trillion mark last year. We must thank people like Njiraini as the top leadership, the board and the National Treasury for making sure that in a span of about 12 to 14 years we grew our revenue collection from Kshs600 billion to Kshs1 trillion. Very few countries in Africa have achieved that. If you combine the budgets of Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda, it is not even a half of the Budget of our country. This is a small Bill. Before we go on recess, or maybe when we come back in June we can look at the leather industry. The leather industry is one industry that has been collapsing because of the very many cartels. With those many remarks, I want to thank Members because this morning we have done a lot of work. That is why this House is serious. This morning we have finished considering the Supplementary Appropriation Bill in all the stages, we have concluded the Seeds and Plant Varieties (Amendment) Bill, which is a constitutional Bill, we are now finishing consideration of the Miscellaneous Fees and Levies Bill, 2015 and we are going to consider the Election Laws (Amendment) Bill. So, I thank Members. This spirit should be brought tomorrow afternoon. If Members can listen to me, Hon. Alfred Keter and the team and Hon. Ombaka listen to me, tomorrow at 2.30 p.m. we must all be here to pass the gender Bill. With those many remarks, I beg to reply."
