    "content": "Secondly, is zero rating status of electric motorcycles and electric bicycles. Nowadays, as you have noticed, if you move around Nairobi, most of the boda bodas that offer taxi hailing services like deliveries are electric motorcycles and bicycles. We have noticed something very unique that the inclusion of electric bicycles in our country has made even ladies to engage in taxi hailing services more. As you move around Nairobi, you will see motorcycles that have their lights on and have something round near the steering wheel. That is one of the ways you know an electric motorcycle. This has been made possible because this House made a decision in the Finance Act of 2023 to provide zero rating status for local assembly of electric motorcycles, electric bicycles, and electric buses. We must, therefore, be consistent in our tax regime. We cannot grant this exemption in December so that investors can come to our country to build electric motorcycles, bicycles and buses, only for us to take away that particular incentive six months later. We must be consistent so that we allow investment in our country."
