    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This morning, I had a discussion with a colleague from Kirinyaga regarding the recent emotional deaths that occurred there after many families consumed lethal alcoholic drinks. There were not only deaths but also a few people permanently lost their eyesight. It is very touching and emotional to see a county congregating in a remorseful service to burry not two or five or 10 people, but 23 people who were affected by that consumption. I hail from Githunguri Constituency in Kiambu County, which is also suffering from the same problem of illicit substance proliferation in the villages. It is affecting the very productive people aged between 20 and 45 years. I would be very scared to see ethanol or something close to that being traded in this country, and being given preferential treatment in terms of taxation. I am referring to the recommendation that appears on the Value Added Tax Act, 2013 (No.35 of 2013). This Bill proposes to amend the Value Addition Tax of 2013 to reclassify the supply of gas metres of tariff No.1928.10.00 and of denatured ethanol of tariff No.2207.20.00 as exempt and zero rated, respectively."
