    "content": "severely. It is important we make our comments. I begin by speaking on the issue of flour, bread and taxes on basic requirements and needs of the people. There are certain basic needs that every family would require. Other than flour and bread there is the cooking gas. We have been toying around with the issue of cooking gas for some time and delaying VAT on that particular item. As Parliament, we should consider extending that reprieve on cooking gas. What has happened is that with increased price of paraffin, which was mostly used, most of the families are now relying on cooking gas. Cooking gas should, therefore, not be taxed in form of VAT, leave alone bread which I have already spoken about. Let it remain zero-rated.
