    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity to contribute. Before the Committee brought this Report here, Kenyans had been getting information from talk shows, radio and newspaper analysis and judged the Report. I have visited several places in my constituency, read the messages sent to me, and reviewed the Report presented by the Committee. The information out there is contradictory. I decided to communicate with my voters and asked them to list the contentious clauses. They complained about the 16 per cent VAT tax on bread, the tax on edible oils, the 2.5 per cent tax on motor vehicles, and the Eco Tax. I promised them that I will approach the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning to address these issues. I am happy that the Committee, led by the able Hon. Kimani, has reviewed all those taxes. The 16 per cent VAT tax on bread has been removed. The 2.5 per cent motor vehicle levy has also been removed. I thank the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning for work well done. They listened to what was communicated to them and did a thorough job on it. I support, Hon. Speaker."
