    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is also a proposal to bring in other players in the market to the tax bracket. It is in Clause 6. It includes the security services, cleaning and fumigation services, catering services in and outside hotel premises, transportation of goods excluding air transport and shipping transport, sales promotion, marketing and advertising services. These are services which are majorly offered by Kenyans. Most of them are small-time start-up businesses. In the amendment, which we will be moving at a later stage in the Third Reading, we will be proposing to safeguard the interest of these small businesses. So, we will be moving an amendment to remove them from this bracket. This is because Kenya is in a situation where we are supposed to promote business start-ups. So, we will be proposing to delete this clause. We will not lose the focus that we are collecting revenue. We will equally be proposing amendments to increase some taxes in some other sectors so as to compensate for the relief which we will be giving to smaller businesses in Kenya."
