    "content": "the same spirit, the same punters normally play within Kenya or on the international platform. The presentation made by National Treasury and KRA is that if we want to bring in more people, we have to also ensure that these particular players are in. The proposal here is to ensure that though we are discouraging gambling, we also have a sustainable way of ensuring that these particular companies which sometime contribute to the social activities in this country remain in business. In the minds of Members here, we not only have Betin and Sportpesa, but also Kenya Charity Sweepstake which has always played a key role in this country. For Members who have just come in, we have already passed that all the winners will be taxed at the rate of 20 per cent. There was a proposal by the players that it should come down to 3 per cent. The Committee proposed to have a middle ground of 10 per cent, but this House has just adopted 20 per cent. In the same way, this particular section which we are now amending will bring harmony in terms of harmonising the tax rate to 35 per cent by amending Sections 29(A)(1), 44(A)(1),55(A)(1) and 59(B)(1). I beg to move."
