Temporary Chairman, during a time when there is a lot of investments, there are a lot of savings by Kenyans in other non-public pension schemes, it is very important that we do not exclude this particular pension and medical schemes that Kenyans pay outside the public schemes. Therefore, I beg to move that we delete the word “public” from the Bill so that the law will read, “other allowances paid under a pension scheme.” The import of this is payments made to both public and private pension schemes will be exempted from Income Tax.

If we limit this provision to the public sector, it means a whole spectrum of people who have investments out of that space are affected. For me, it is also important to speak to an issue that many Africans relate to, which is often referred to as the black tax. This amendment is encouraging for those who are investing for their retirement, and retirees. It will ensure that their investments will not be taxed."},{"id":1587181,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1587181/?format=json","text_counter":263,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.
