    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you, for protecting me. Allow me to contribute to this important amendment to the VAT Act that this Parliament passed. This Parliament has a responsibility, of course, to make, amend and repeal laws. This is one of the best laws, I agree, that was passed by this House. However, immediately after we had a serious outcry and this led to the amendments that have been brought by my friend and model, hon. Ng’ongo, to address some of the issues that Kenyans were crying about. Indeed, we never heard people saying that they did not want the entire Act; they wanted certain provisions sorted out. On the issue of fishing nets I, being a Member who comes from the Lake region, know that fish farmers have been accused of using substandard nets. We are going to have an opportunity for them to buy the standard ones and increase productivity in the form of fish. I would not even like to discuss about mosquito nets because we know malaria is a killer disease in this country. So, by not exempting duty from mosquito nets, we are also contributing to the death of many people from malaria. I support this and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
