    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairman, I beg to move that the New Clause 40A be now read a Second Time. During public participation on the Bill, one entity that came to our Committee is called Koru Rum. This is a manufacturer based in Koru in Muhoroni, who converts sugarcane into methanol and prepares a fantastic rum. However, for the last four years, despite setting up a plant, it has never been operational because a fluorometer, a requirement of KRA, costs in excess of Ksh25 million. A microbrewer using our raw materials and creating employment is denied a licence because they are required to have a fluorometer. When we tasked KRA, they said that it is a fault in the law. Therefore, we seek to provide for this particular exemption for such micro distillers so that alternative micro and cottage industries can use local materials to make alternative brews to the killer brews in this country. I beg to move."
