    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, in seconding this Motion, I just want to make one very important point. It should be known by the Kenyan Public that the Akiwumi Report was very specific that hon. Members will pay tax. At the same time, hon. Members here are agreed that taxes will have to be paid so that the accusation that hon. Members get the benefit of not paying taxes on their allowances can be put to rest once and for all. I am saying this because the notion that has really been peddled is that Members of Parliament want to avoid the payment of tax. I think it should go on record that, that is not the case. Hon. Members are committed to paying tax and, indeed, even in the support of the new Constitution, they are fully aware that the provisions are incorporated in that Constitution to make sure that all state officers, and that will include, Members of Parliament will pay tax."
