    "content": "We also met officers working for the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). In their submission, they clearly stated that the two companies were not registered with the KRA and as such they are not tax compliant. What exactly are we doing when we say we want to protect public money? On one hand, we are borrowing money left, right and centre but on the other hand, officers of the KRA are saying they cannot raise the money. In fact, before releasing the Kshs1.5 billion, the first thing I would have expected to happen was that hypothetically, if that land was private land, the taxman should have got his share. When the taxman comes before us and says that the two companies are not registered with the KRA, what exactly are we doing? What stops anyone out there from getting friends all over and committing public funds?"
