    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in Uganda, Ethiopia, Rwanda and even our neighbour here Tanzania, they do not impose VAT taxes on vegetable seeds. So, what happens? People are now going to Uganda to import vegetable seeds across Busia and bringing back karafu . That is another language to describe what we thought had gone down in Busia but now karafu in vegetable seeds is coming back in Busia. This is a terrible indictment, in my view, of the Jubilee Government although I heard the Member for Gatundu praising the Jubilee Government by saying that they are going to do this and that. However, how do you promise wananchi that you are going to do this when vegetable seeds that are the heart of the food basket in Rift Valley and that is the core of Central Kenya, Western Kenya and Eastern Kenya are so expensive? You are placing taxes on them and increasing the cost by more than 40 per cent. How are people going to grow these things?"
