    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I have done some soul searching. The point Hon. Musimba has raised is very valid. However, we cannot treat it in this Bill. This is because in the Finance Bill that will come to this House in September, we must find out that where you build a road using PPP and then charge toll, there will be the element of double taxation. If I have paid tax through the Road Maintenance Levy Fund, once I leave Nairobi heading to Kisumu, by the time I reach Nakuru, I get to a road for which I will have to pay toll, the issue of double taxation will arise. However, the Chair has tried to introduce the element of covering bridges and tunnels. When it comes to passing the Finance Bill, which deals with taxation, we will deal with the matter of the Road Maintenance Levy Fund and make a clarification. That involves the National Treasury and the Cabinet Secretary for Transport. This Bill is not dealing with how we can deal with an anticipated double taxation."
