    "content": "Secondly, and this applies to both the national Government and the county government, we must get value for the money that is collected as taxes. There are numerous cases of corruption and looting of public resources to an extent that out of whatever is collected, it is only 50 per cent that ends up being useful to this country. The Bill contains provisions. Some are good and progressive, but some are objectionable. They will make life for the typical mwananchi too hard and expensive. I will mention a few of the progressive and positive provisions in the Bill. One, taxation of the digital market place and Ajira Programme is commendable. It will encourage our youth to engage in online business that can exploit their skills in Information and Communications Technology (ICT). Many of us are ICT founders, but we are unable to catch up. So, we cannot purport to compete in that area. We leave it to the youths and the young at heart."
