    "content": "improve productivity and production in our country. Looking at the first proposal on fish nets, fish is eaten by all Kenyans and is being produced in a big way. In my county of Kiambu and even in my constituency of Gatundu North, we are still using nets. By avoiding VAT, these fish nets are going to be cheap and once they are cheap, Kenyans are going to afford fish, which is very rich in some minerals like phosphorous, which we need for brain development. This country requires developed and accurate brains. Once the nets become cheap, majority of Kenyans who cannot afford fish today will be able to buy it. In this region, people should not forget about the Migingo Island. You will ask yourself why people fight for the island. It is because of the fish which is there. I hear it has a high population of fish. If we do not make our fish cheap and the neighbouring countries make theirs cheap, how are we going to compete, knowing very well that we are removing economic boundaries in this region; the East African Community? That is why, as a finance man I support these particular amendments that have been brought."
