    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to echo the issue raised by Capt. Wambugu regarding the increased Value Added Tax (VAT) on aircraft parts. This is going to make air transport very expensive in this country and, as Capt. Wambugu has alluded to, we are likely to lose a number of aircrafts who actually fly into this country. They will change their destinations to other countries. So, it is important as a country to reconsider this decision to charge very expensive VAT rates on aircraft parts. As you realise, aircrafts are very delicate instruments and you cannot afford to make a mistake and, therefore, servicing of aircrafts is a must and can never be delayed. Therefore, when we put a lot of VAT on these parts, chances are that some of the aircraft companies may want to take a chance to start, probably, not servicing their aircrafts as required and this could lead to various disasters. So, we would want, once again, as we finalise the VAT Bill, to relook on this issue."
