    "content": "I am supporting with a few amendments. I just want to add a few issues here. We have been advocating for efficiency and improved production for mechanizing agriculture. Adding VAT to land and machinery would be discouraging farmers from mechanizing their operations, which would reduce the production of food. I am also supporting the Government in subsidizing and creating a Fund that will reduce the cost of living for our people. A big percentage of Kenyans or the Kenyan economy is supported by agriculture. Agriculture also supports and contributes a lot to the economy and the GDP of this country. Adding VAT to agricultural inputs would be discouraging farmers."
