    "content": " Let me explain for the benefit of the Members who have just come in. We are discussing amendments which are proposed in the new tax laws to share the tax burden for the first time. Currently, the winnings are not taxed. In the analysis that was presented by the Leader of the Majority Party from the National Treasury and Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), in betting, lotteries and gaming, 88 per cent of what is put in goes to winnings, but we have not been taxing that. So, in the new proposal, the National Treasury wants to bring in the winners and tax them 20 per cent. Already, it has been explained that in the split, the industry contributes a reasonable amount though the proposals are a mixture of raising tax at the same time trying to bring in the players, the punters who have been getting away with it and now they are being brought in.
