    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, exempting Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) from VAT is quite encouraging. It encourages our people to use LPG for cooking. This will help us in saving the environment and our forests. Of course, we know the kind of gases that are emitted from the use of kerosene. However, for a Kenyan to buy a six kilogramme gas, it costs about Kshs600 but the cylinder and the burner cost slightly over Kshs3,000. That means that you may exempt VAT from the gas but Kenyans cannot afford the cylinders. As one Hon. Member said earlier on, it will be prudent for the Government to think about Kenyans being provided with gas cylinders exempted from VAT and all taxes so that many people can access the same."
