    "content": "To discourage sugar consumption, I propose to the National Assembly to introduce Excise Duty on imported sugar at Ksh5 per kilogramme, excluding sugar imported or purchased locally by registered pharmaceutical manufacturers for use in pharmaceutical products. Consumption of alcohol, betting, gaming, lottery and prize competitions are extremely addictive and result in harmful repercussions in society, especially for the youth. In order to discourage those activities and consumption of alcoholic beverages, I propose to the National Assembly to introduce an Excise Duty at the rate of 15 per cent of the excisable value on fees charged on advertisements through television, print media, billboard and radio in promoting the same."
