    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to oppose the dropping of excisable goods imported for direct use in the manufacture of sanitary towels. I believe this is an issue which has been canvassed extensively in the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. There was a Petition in this House on the same. We presented the same in Mombasa and the Committee agreed with what I said. That, the goods which are brought to manufacture sanitary pads are charged excisable duty which makes the end product more expensive and disadvantages the local manufacturers and our girls in this country. The Chair probably needs to get back to the notes we discussed in Mombasa. This particular amendment has over 18 items which need to be exempted to make sure that the local manufacturers do not leave this country to go and manufacture in Egypt, Tanzania or Rwanda. I, therefore, oppose. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
