    "content": "certificate, that card and that exemption from the Kenya Revenue Authority it becomes an issue. They do not know procedures and that is why we are saying that. As much as we are talking about budget and taxation and the tax laws in this country, we as Members of Parliament have to intensify these campaigns and awareness so that our people know exactly what they are exempted and what they are not. I support this Bill. We basically need to look at ways in which we can make sure that those mechanisms in our counties that enhance these funds in our various counties are able to be strengthened so that our counties are accountable. Revenue that is collected in Kenya should equate to service delivery. We cannot overtax our people yet we are not making them live comfortably. That is not fair and that is why you see most Kenyans are not happy with this Budget. Most of our Kenyans know that as much as this Budget is saying tax exemption, where are the services? We need to address where this monies that the national Government is getting disappear to yet people do not receive these services. So, as much as I support these Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill, I want to say that we need to basically overtax these gaming companies. This is where money is and this is where we need to overtax. With those few remarks, allow me to support."
