Starting with the issue of confectioneries, the Bill in its original form was proposing to impose Excise Duty on both local and imported confectionery. The Committee proposes in its amendment to delete any Excise Duty on local confectionery and increase the rate of Excise Duty on imported confectionery instead of killing our local industries by imposing taxes on local confectioneries. There are factories in this countries employing over 5,000 Kenyans in the sector of confectioneries. Apart from the ones hired in the factories, if you go to our streets and kiosks, they mostly trade in confectionery such as sweets. This amendment is meant to protect the local manufacturers, but impose further Excise Duty on imported confectioneries. If you want to eat imported chocolate, pay for it. In (b), there is the issue of imported glass bottles. The Bill was proposing to completely remove Excise Duty on imported glass bottles. This was in relation to a case where we imposed Excise Duty on imported glass bottles. A Tanzanian company went to the East African Court of Justice and got a judgment to remove the Excise Duty. To protect our revenue, the Committee has only exempted bottles from the East African countries. Those from other countries outside East Africa should continue to pay Excise Duty, so that we can raise money for bread and ung a.
