    "content": "With those few remarks, we challenge the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, to get together and look at all the loopholes in tax brackets. This piecemeal presentation of Bills will not fix tax issues. Let us also look at the budget because we are a budgeting House. The best ways to reduce taxes is to budget right and have a realistic budget so that we cannot overtax people. Now, we are trying to chase the budget we did because it has a shortfall. That is what this Bill is trying to do. The Kshs30 billion we are targeting here was a shortfall. But if we had a realistic budget, you would not need to do the chasing. I support this but at a later stage, let us look at those amendments. Thank you."
