    "content": " I just want to ask the Members to listen. This incentive is maximum. However, the way the law is, one is given a percentage of what is reported and collected. It is one per cent, to a certain maximum. It is actually 5 per cent, to a maximum of Kshs2 million. That is so that even if you report a tax in which the KRA collects Kshs300 million, you are still going to be given, upon recovery of the evaded tax. You know, there is no money being used from the Government. When the KRA finally collects, it gives 5 per cent of what is collected. However, it is to a maximum of Kshs2 million. What has happened now, when someone reports a huge amount of money and it is collected, once that person realises that he will get Kshs2 million only, he shies away from reporting because he feels that the amount is little. Currently, the KRA has been collecting Kshs10 billion out of that. They only pay out of what is collected. They use that collection to pay. So, there is no tax outlay out of this."
