    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to comment on the Petition by Hon. Jude Njomo, which is very important. Tax evasion is a serious issue. Under the regime of former President Kibaki, there was the slogan “ Kulipa ushuru ni kujitegemea na kulinda taifa \". If taxes are not paid, the Government can collapse. For us to avoid dependence on donors and to be independent, we heavily rely on tax payments. The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) deducts some money from employees’ monthly salaries and keeps it for them so that it can help them when they retire. Some organisations deduct this money, but they do not submit it to the NSSF. Neither do they submit deductions to the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF). It is my humble request that once the Committee takes over this matter, serious disciplinary measures be put in place to deal with people who do not comply.
