    "content": "revenue collected to target vulnerable Kenyans. It is not fair to just have a blanket list where majority of Kenyans are enjoying yet they are not vulnerable. By doing this, you will improve tax targeting to help the country going to the right areas. On the issue of Excise Duty, tax on alcoholic drinks has been reduced based on alcoholic content. We have been taxing anything above 8 per cent and it is now being reduced to 8 per cent meaning we are bringing more people on board. Students of Economics call this sin tax. There is no sympathy when applying sin tax. This is an option because you can decide not to drink and you do not die. The more you drink, the more you should be taxed so that you help Kenyans who are disadvantaged. The fact that you are bringing it to 8 per cent means that you are widening the bracket and more people will be taxed."
