In every single Member’s mind here, we all understand that flour is a staple food in this country. We have zero-rated duty on milk and bread. Milk and bread are consumed in urban areas. The staple food for every other Kenyan is flour. So, if we have zero-rated milk and bread which is the cake of the rich, then we have no reason not to zero-rate flour for the person who consumes ugali and chapati as his or her staple food."}
