    "content": "Yes. Hon. Shabbir is a Member of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. The best place would have been to raise this issue at the Committee level. Clearly, the English meaning of vaccine is not an additive. You vaccinate but you do not vaccinate as a raw material to the animal feeds. I wanted to ask Hon. Shabbir to bring a further amendment that will bring in the question of additives. What the Hon. Shakeel is saying is quite true, that it has become now cheaper to bring in eggs and even chicken as much as the Chairman was objecting to that notion. People are, indeed, bringing in slaughtered chicken. I am sure from Kisumu maybe, he is well aware that people are bringing in slaughtered chicken from Uganda to sell in Kisumu outlets. It is, indeed, true because of the VAT on additives to animal feeds, those animal feeds are much more expensive in this country than in Uganda and Tanzania. For the benefit of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade and the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives, it also has a bearing on the raw materials that we are using and the cost production of our raw materials. I would beseech Hon. Shakeel to bring a further amendment on the issue of additives as raw materials to animal feeds."
