    "content": "I want to pick the issue of beer. The moment you overtax some beers, you open the door for cheap and illicit brews in the country which will damage more youths. Therefore, it is only fair that we tax beer such that it still remains affordable to ordinary Kenyans, so that many young people do not end up consuming cheap beer. This country has a history of deaths due to illicit brews. In fact, in 2013/2014, many Kenyans perished from the consumption of illicit brews. So, taxation on such items will kill the brands of manufacturing companies and at the same time promote a lot of illicit brews. So, it does not help the country. Proper research needs to be done, so that in the Committee of the whole House, we will make adjustments so that we can protect Kenyans against cheap brews. At the same time, we need to make sure our people consume properly prepared brews."
