"content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity. I would like to comment on the Petition by Hon. Jude Njomo, which is a comprehensive one. It is an 11-point Petition. Besides Bidco Company violating labour laws, most of the points in this Petition touch on tax evasion and other economic crimes. I want to seek your indulgence to also allow the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade to look at this Petition. Bidco has failed to pay taxes to the tune of Kshs6 billion. Bidco should be audited because we need a lot of money to develop our country. We need money for loans and education. If our investors fail to pay taxes, that is an economic crime, just as Hon. Wandayi said. I would like to ask you to look at the issue of sabotage of the economy of our hardworking Jubilee Government."
