    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, in seconding this Motion… I am a Member of the Delegated Legislation Committee which is ably chaired by my learned friend and the Member for Ainabkoi. The Regulations are subsidiary legislation to the main Act, that is, the Excise Duty Regulations of 2017. The sponsors of these amendments informed us that these Regulations will enhance the dual purpose of the Excise Duty by giving the Government much-needed revenue and regulating some of the commodities which pose health or environmental impact on the people. We carefully looked at these Regulations and agreed that they are in order. Some terminologies needed to be defined for us to add these people to this tax bracket. For instance, we define “co-manufacturer” as someone who either participates in the manufacturing chain or who does part of the manufacturing or one to whom manufacturing is outsourced. This needed to be added to the bracket for co-manufacturers to be taxed by the Kenya Revenue Authority. The rest has been ably explained by my learned friend. Although he is from Kenya Kwanza, he also needs to get some money so that he does not ask me where my mileage will come from. These are good Regulations and we should support them because they are straightforward. I beg to second."
