    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. I rise to support this Bill. I have concerns, particularly on the SACCO Societies Act, as expressed by other Members. This Bill proposes to amend a number of legislations which this House has already dealt with. For example, it proposes to amend the Betting, Lotteries and Gaming Act by reducing the taxes from 35 per cent to 15 per cent. You are aware that this amendment has already been done under the Finance Act, 2018. The same applies to Urban Areas and Cities Act which, as you are aware, went through the Committee of the whole House last week. We also have the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority Act. Hon. Speaker, maybe in future, we need to look at the content of the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill because we may have dealt with some of the laws in other amendments and that creates a scenario of cyclic legislation."
