    "content": "That clause affects the First Schedule of VAT. The First Schedule, as Members know, deals with exemptions of various items from VAT. What we are doing are two main things. One, we are removing the agricultural pest control products from exempt status and have them as zero-rated products. Two, we are removing maize flour, wheat flour and ordinary bread from exempt status, so that we can take them to zero-rated status, in response to the cost of unga . ―Zero-rated‖ status means that we are making them cheaper for Kenyans, same with the agricultural pest control products. We are also exempting diapers and sanitary pads and tampons in paragraph 39 from VAT in order to make them more affordable especially our girls in school. Finally, we are also exempting transportation of cargo to stations outside Kenya. That is again to make our transport of cargo outside Kenya competitive. Thank you."
