    "content": "In this regard, I propose to change the excise duty on spirits from Kshs7 per one per cent of alcohol per litre to Kshs120 or 65 per cent, whichever is higher, and that of wines from Kshs7 per one per cent of alcohol per litre to Kshs70 or 50 per cent, whichever is higher. I expect this measure to reduce the prices of portable spirits and wines, thereby making them affordable to our people in order to reduce consumption of unhygienic, dangerous illicit spirits. In addition to the measures we have taken in the past and building on those I have already mentioned to care for the elderly and senior members of our society to live and retire in dignity, I am going a step further to recognize the important role these members of our society play in our country. In this regard, I propose to increase the tax exempt limits for monthly pensions from Kshs15,000 to Kshs25,000, thereby exempting from tax, all those in receipt of monthly pensions of Kshs25,000 and below."
