    "content": "Hon. Speaker, we have been declining and when we hit 23 per cent, we celebrated. We have been declining for a long time to 17 per cent. I am glad to hear that we are now at 18 per cent. If we can inch back, that will be very useful for our development goals. To allow information to be shared and hopefully used is good. It is one thing to get information, but another to work on it. I would like to urge the KRA - I understand that particularly now they are working hard to expand the tax net - that since we are in a position which we need every shilling that can be raised, they should genuinely be proactive enough to act on the information they receive. There has been occasion before where there was blame that the international agencies that share information in the financial criminal space had felt that Kenya was not always sufficiently reactive to this information. It was only when things would blow up that you would be told that we had already shared this with the country. I hope our patriots within the KRA will act aggressively and robustly since they will have the instruments nationally, but now they will have the acceptance across borders."
