    "content": " The review of cost or prices was occasioned by review of inflation on Excise Duty. This now will become a thing of the past. Concerning the Lake Region and the Coastal Belt where there is fishing, you are not telling your communities and voters that we are now protecting the local fish industry by imposing a 20 per cent import tax. Unfortunately, the Committee has revised that to 10 per cent. This is to protect fish farmers in the country and not just in Nyanza or the Coast. Even fish farmers in Ondiri in Kikuyu are now protected from cheap imports. We have seen Chinese trawlers. Chinese come… Let me not mention countries. My apologies for that. We have seen foreigners importing fish into our country thus destroying our local farmers. We are protecting our local fish farmers, but nobody is speaking about it. Allow me to speak about it. Other than fish, we also have imported furniture. If you walk to all Government offices, including our constituency offices, you will note that we use imported furniture. There is now a levy of 30 per cent on imported furniture to make sure that hustlers making furniture on Ngong Road, in Kariokor, Kariobangi, Kikuyu, and Makutano, are able to make and sell them even to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
