"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I have consulted extensively with the Legal Department of Parliament and that is how I got to this point. The Copyright Act allows this body to collect taxes from Kenyans who are running businesses. In fact, last year, they even attempted to have the Kenya Revenue Authority do it on their behalf. It is all in the Act. The Legal Department of Parliament has said that this is in the right place and whether the Minister is concerned or not, is neither here nor there. We cannot live in a country where people walk into a barber shop in the village and demand Kshs10,000 and confiscate everything. We cannot live in a country like that. It is our duty to make laws and make it right. I believe we will be doing the right thing as Parliament."
