Langat","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":384,"legal_name":"Benjamin Kipkirui Langat","slug":"benjamin-langat"},"content":"Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I oppose the amendment. This is a money Bill. What is defined as “computer” will open a Pandora’s Box for all and sundry. It will lead to serious revenue loss. This matter needs to have been canvassed properly. We should look at the implications on revenue. I agree we need cheap computers. I want to thank the Jubilee Government because the computers which are being given to our kids are procured by the Government. The Government is already investing a lot on computers. If we deny the Government money to purchase those gadgets, it will be a serious revenue issue. On the question of taxation, if we encourage this style, we may make serious amendments which may lead to unintended consequences. We need to be very careful. I oppose and I urge Hon. Members to oppose the amendment."}
