    "content": "I have talked about simplifications. This modest increase will make a token contribution, again, towards the financing of the tuition fees in secondary schools. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on these sets of simplifications, I also wish to introduce a specific Excise Tax on mineral water at Kshs6 per litre besides the current ad valorem of 10 per cent per litre. It basically translates to the same but we now want to capture it in both specific as well as ad valorem to avoid the cheating and the under-declarations that we have been witnessing. As usual, these Excise measures are effective from mid-night tonight. On measures to promote agricultural development and environmental conservation, in order to reduce loses to our milk farmers and to encourage growth of our dairy sub-sector, I propose to zero-rate milk powder for VAT purposes to encourage processing of excess milk into powder. This measure is expected to make powder milk affordable to all Kenyans. June 14, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1841"
