    "content": "As we support this amendment Bill - and I want my brother, Hon. Wamunyinyi to listen to this - mechanisms must be put in place to make sure that if there is an exemption of VAT, then it should be the farmer who should benefit and not the transporters. Many times, we have seen those exemptions extended to transporters who are third parties. It is neither directly to the farmers nor to the companies, but to transporters who are, generally, third parties. A mechanism should be put in place to make sure that, that exemption should benefit farmers directly. Otherwise, we may go ahead and give exemption and yet, we could be enriching the transporters who will continue to charge the same rate and, at the end of the day, pay nothing to the Exchequer."
