"content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Before I read the Petition, we have one that was brought here by a Mr. Njoroge Waweru on the waiver of VAT on text books, journals and periodicals. The Committee looked at it and noted that during the Finance Bill 2016, the same had been canvassed. It was dropped by the Committee and that is also reflected in the Finance Bill. So, after looking through the Petition from Mr. Njoroge Waweru, the Committee disagreed with his request. So, in that regard, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table of the House today, Thursday, 1st December, 2016. The Report on the Departmental Committee of Finance Planning and Trade on a Petition regarding the waiver on VAT on text books, journals and periodicals and its consideration of the Kenya Uwezo Fund Bill 2015. Thank you."
