    "content": "I note with appreciation the production of 5,000 megawatts of fuel in the energy sector, which is a major flagship project of the Jubilee Government. When we encourage private developers especially in private public partnership, to produce power without much taxation, it will make it easier for us to achieve the production of 5,000 megawatts of fuel. On the same note, VAT has not been levied on commodities, machinery and everything else used in the production of power to enable cheaper power production. We should encourage the same in the sugar production, so that we reduce the cost of locally produced sugar in the long run. I note that there is geothermal power, solar power and many others. For this reason, we can say with authority that the proposed waiver of VAT on the transportation of sugarcane will reduce the cost of sugar production. This will benefit every Kenyan who consumes the product directly and indirectly. Everybody will be a beneficiary in the long run. We will all be winners in this particular case."
