"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are counties that are unable to meet their internally generated revenue targets. We also have the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), which instead of doing horizontal expansion of getting taxes, is always doing vertical expansion and just taxing people up there. If these people are well organized, the tax bracket will increase. Therefore, we should formalize and allow the people who can earn an income to do so. We can target, reorganize, take statistics and, in the process, increase employment. With so many jobless people, if we allowed them to do their craft and make their wares, continue with their cottage industries, go and display and sell them in an organized manner, we will be solving a number of issues. By doing so, we will resolve the issue of insecurity, unemployment and improve the economy."
