    "content": "back to our traditions, when I did a wedding, my mother gave me a Kiondo. When I am going for shopping I can surely carry Kiondo . We do not need plastic bags to do the same. I am hoping that we can regulate and make sure that we ban the use of plastic bags in this country. I have seen the duty on food supplements. Everybody is watching weight in this country. I may also be a victim. When I see that we have added 10 per cent of Excise Duty on food supplements, I am a little bit concerned. We need to be healthy. I am hoping this can be amended. I am not sure but I stand to be guided but food supplement should not be included in this category where we are adding the Excise Duty. We know that when our seniors get old, they need a lot of food supplements. I do not support food supplement being part of the items that are going to be affected by this. Another thing is the issue of fruit juices. This is about health and living healthy. On vegetable juices, unfermented and not containing added spirits or sugar or other sweetening matter, I would also not support the fruit juices to be slammed with this Excise Duty because we are encouraging most Kenyans to take fruit juices and avoid other soft drinks. I am hoping we can do a little bit of amendment if it will be possible. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support and thank you."
