    "content": "compliant tax regime and Sharia compliant financial practices, so that they do not hurt their personal law. The moment you get into personal law and faith, then the Constitution protects you. Therefore, this law should be within the Constitution for us to protect the Kenyans’ faiths and ensure that whatever we do does not injure their faith. This should fall within the Islamic Law which is supported by the Islamic faith and the Constitution. Therefore, fixing the Islamic finance arrangements makes it fair to people who practise Islamic faith. I support the Bill to that extent. This means it is compliant with the Constitution and respects different faiths in our country. That is what gives a country stability. The moment you begin enacting laws which injure people’s faiths or which are unconstitutional then, those particular laws are unconstitutional. I support that particular issue. Islamic Income Tax regime or Islamic finance arrangements are quite common. In this Bill, they are featured from Income Tax, excise duty and many other forms of taxations which have been enumerated. Therefore, to that extent, I support."
