    "content": " Let me give the position of the National Treasury. I think our starting point as Hon. Dawood puts it is that the current taxation net betting income is at 35 per cent, according to the Kenya Revenue Authority. Information given to the Committee is that the estimated gross income from this sector is Kshs206 billion. The total winnings are Kshs181 billion out of that. So, the net betting income is Kshs25 billion. The genesis of taxing winners is coming from this position. What the Chair is trying to do is to change what was on the Bill. The Bill provides for 20 per cent for winnings and 15 per cent for betting. From this figure, you can see that winnings are Kshs181 billion. It is the chunk of the money where we need to tax. Hon. Chair, let us have 20 per cent and 10 per cent."
