"content": " Hon. Temporary Chairman, I beg to move that the New Clause 42D be now read a Second Time. This clause seeks to define certificate of origin. This is meant to cure a mischief that happens. When some goods are being imported into the country, they are declared as raw materials. Then you realise that they are finished products. A good example is edible oils. Some unscrupulous business people have been importing edible oils as a finished product, but declaring it as semi-processed or raw material. This leads to a lot of leakage in terms of our revenue."

"content": " Hon. Temporary Chairman, I strongly support this amendment. This is trying to enhance the amendments we did in December, in the Business Laws (Amendment) Bill, particularly to the Standards Act on the issuance of the certificate of origin. It also cures a very interesting mischief. I say so having interacted with the caper between Kenya and the United Arab Emirates. The fear is that we are going to have countries that do not manufacture anything being used as conduits to bring goods manufactured elsewhere into our market. Insisting on the certificate of origin means that we must confirm that if you are importing a product, it must have been manufactured in that country, not goods that are on transit."
