    "content": "companies are registered in Kenya that they pay the 35 per cent. For people doing all those other forms of betting but registered out there, we are not getting any income. We will be getting that income when the punter receives his winnings which are 20 per cent. All others are paid 15 per cent. The Government gets 35 per cent in total. So, there is no loss in income. I can guarantee you that we will get more income. Most importantly, I want to exonerate the Committee from any feeling that, perhaps, they sat and decided to change the rate from 35 per cent to 10 per cent. In fact, that came from the Government in the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill No. 2. What has happened is to bring those forward to today, instead of being discussed within the framework of the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill No. 2. These are taxation issues and we are discussing tax matters today. I want to persuade Members that we do not do double taxation. Do not tax somebody at the winning and the company because we are going to kill both."
