    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On that issue, I thought the Prime Minister said that in order for some taxes to be reduced, the Government has to come with an amendment Bill for Parliamentary approval. He cited the example of zero- rating kerosene. So, it is very important for the Prime Minister to be very clear as to whether the removal of duty on kerosene takes effect immediately or it will await Parliamentary approval. I am saying this because, already, there is an alert by 411saying that the price of kerosene has been reduced by Kshs5.66 and that for petrol, by Kshs2.00; Import Duty on wheat and maize has been abolished and wage increase will be effected on Sunday. So, it is very important for the Prime Minister to clarify the timelines, so that Kenyans out there do not think that these measures will take effect at midnight. If these measures are going to take effect at midnight, he should say so clearly. If they are going to await approval by Parliament, let him be clear."
