    "content": "The other thing is the imposition of duty of Kshs7.20 per litre of Kerosene. Who uses Kerosene in this country? It is basically the low income households. When we impose this kind of tax on kerosene, are we helping the poor? We are pushing them from using this important source of energy to firewood. This will make things worse in terms of deforestation. As we amend other clauses, the Chairperson of this Committee should reconsider Clause 21(a). At the end of the day, we are harassing the poor of this country more than we are helping them. We need to think through this and make sure that we amend the Bill in order to shield the poor from the impact of taxation."
