    "content": "money from levies and taxes which must come from the citizens. So, it is right for this Bill to impose taxes. It is the right way to go for this country so that we can have money to develop. I have seen in the Bill that there are exempts of exports which are within the EAC. This goes a long way in encouraging integration with the East African countries so that we can move goods within the EAC. We need to look at the relationship between us and the other countries within East Africa, which may be willing to bring their goods to this country and they are not opening their borders to our goods and our people to move freely. We need to look at that. I have seen the Railway Development Levy. We are coming up with the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), which is going to help ease movement of goods from our ports in Mombasa to Nairobi and the neighbouring countries. We need to levy it so that it can push the railway to go to the neighbouring countries. Lastly, I have seen that there is tax on scrap metal. Scrap metal dealers have done a lot of damage in this country. Most of the metal is stolen."
