    "content": " Hon. Chairlady, during winnowing, we did agree with Hon. Leah on zero-rating this local manufacture of biodegradable sanitary towels. The Committee also proposes deletion of paragraphs H, I, J and K. This will make sure that we zero rate all raw materials that are used for local manufacturing of diapers and sanitary towels. Further, we provide for exemption from taxation on all diapers and sanitary towels in this country. This particular clause provides for zero-rating of local manufacture of fertiliser and all micro nutrients and fodder feeds used to add value to our fertiliser, zero rating tea packaging materials, mosquito repellents, materials used to locally assemble stoves, mobile phones and electric motorcycles. This is to make sure that we remain marketable as a country and that we support manufacturing in the Republic of Kenya. We are going back to zero rating tax on bread and this will mean that ordinary bread, gluten and unleavened bread will remain zero-rated. Therefore, no taxes will be increased on bread."
