    "content": " Yes, they are related. I will move the two together. In the proposed Bill, we were talking about punters. For the first time, we are proposing tax winnings. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the Schedule of the Bill be amended by – (f) deleting the word “twenty” appearing in the proposed new subparagraph (i) in the proposed amendments to Paragraph 3 of Head B in the Third Schedule and substituting therefor the word “ten”; and (g) deleting the word “twenty” appearing in the proposed new subparagraph (i) in the proposed amendments to Paragraph 5 of Head B in the Third Schedule and substituting therefor the word “ten” The import of this is to reduce the rate of tax proposed from 20 per cent to 10 per cent given that it is being done for the first time. The punters who appeared before us were proposing 3 per cent. That is the practice worldwide. In Kenya, we are not proposing only to raise tax, but also to discourage betting. So, we are proposing to move from 3 per cent to 10 per cent."
