"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the rationale of this is that Excise Duty on fruits was at 7 per cent. It was raised to Kshs10 per litre for two main reasons, namely, to raise revenue and to finance the 2014/2015 Budget Expenditure and the Division of Revenue. It is very important for the House to hear that the Budget process is a function of this House. When you pass the Division of Revenue Bill and the Budget Estimates, any revenue that is projected to finance that Budget must be sustained. The House cannot have the leeway to give with one hand and withdraw with the other hand. That is not fair to the overall budget-making process and the fiscal framework. That is the concept."
