    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, first, I want to thank the Committee and Members who contributed to this very important Tax Laws (Amendmen) Bill. This Bill deals with two main factors and the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and the Committee had to balance between cushioning Kenyans, as Hon. Kaluma said, from job losses, staying at home and at the same time protecting the economy. Every country must protect its people and that is why you see there is also a reduction of the Corporate Tax for companies not to go under. Therefore, the basic things that affect the people of Kenya, which the CS wanted to remove from exemption to zero-rating like bread, fertilizer, animal feeds, and implements have been taken care of. This afternoon, I will bring amendments to ensure that we remove Import Duty and Value Added Tax (VAT) from masks, so that masks can become cheaper all over Kenya.
