    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, some of the projections we wanted to see in the BPS are economic growth, expanding economy and increase in the tax bracket. All the Committee is saying is that Kenyans are not willing to pay tax or there is tax evasion. What one must ask is, first of all, have we put the right machinery in place to collect tax from all people within the taxable bracket? A few months ago, this House said that borrowing from the banks must be capped. If Kenyans do not have enough money in their pockets to do business for the growth of Small and Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurship, those monies must be available to the common person who wants to do business. If the borrowing rates are high, Kenyans will not go to the banks. This will slow down the growth of the economy and we will never collect enough money."
