"content": "of Government do not coordinate, a person can obtain another driving license which is issued by the same Government. This amendment on the usage of technology in the management of minor traffic offences will come in handy and, therefore, I support it. There is also the amendment on the Value Added Tax charged on denatured ethanol. This is ethanol that has been combined with a denaturant making it undrinkable. That means that it is not pure ethanol because pure ethanol is pure alcohol. The amendment addresses the importation of denatured ethanol, which can be used for industrial use. The only problem is that it can be used as a conduit for pure ethanol, which is consumed as alcohol. The proposal in the Bill is okay, but we have to be very careful because in the process of zero-rating denatured ethanol, the possibility of unscrupulous and corrupt people bringing in ethanol is very high. I join my brothers and sisters in Kirinyaga County and other parts of the country where people have died because of consuming ethanol. This is not a bad Bill. However, we need to be very careful when it comes to the amendment to the Value Added Tax Act."
