    "content": "On the power producers, the amendment to Part 1 of the Schedule of the Income Tax seeks to delete the proposed new paragraph, but the input of the amendment by the Chair on power is to attract more investment in the power sector and consequently lower the cost of energy in our country. There are many investors who want to invest in solar, wind and geothermal energy outside the Special Economic Zone. They are not in the Special Economic Zone. The Chair is trying to delete those in the Special Economic Zones. Those people enjoy certain tax benefits whether they are in Mombasa, Mai Mahiu, Nakuru, Eldoret or Ruiru. This is meant to attract investors, so that ultimately, we can get cheaper power. The Chair is not explaining it very well that those who want to invest in wind and solar energy in the north or geothermal in Naivasha, the amendment gives them tax rebates. That is the essence of what the Chair is trying to move."
