    "content": "Third, in recognition of the fact that beautiful women are the face of a healthy society, I propose to reduce excise duty on cosmetics and skin care products from 10 per cent to five per cent. Further, I propose to remove duty on jewelry products. These measures will make these products not only affordable but also accessible to the majority of our Kenyan women and even men. Fourth, there has been an outcry over the retail prices of soft drinks, juices and water. I do recognize that manufacturers of these products rely on sales volumes due to the small profit margin which are very sensitive to price variation. Towards this end, I propose to reduce duty on water from 10 per cent to five per cent, and that on carbonated soft drinks and juices, from 10 per cent to seven per cent. I, therefore, expect the manufacturers and retailers of these commodities to adjust their prices downwards accordingly, so as to pass the benefit to the consumer."
