    "content": "So, let me just throw a spanner into the works in terms of what we are calling ‘zero rating’ as opposed to ‘tax exemption’. Hon. Mbadi and Hon. Limo, the Chair of the Committee, have explained that when you zero rate an item, it is likely to be cheaper than when you tax exempt it. What you call Value Addition Tax, the inputs which come in as you process, will be taxed. However, we must also think about the other alternative to it. Because of corruption issues in this country, and we all agree in this country corruption is a problem both in the public sector and in the private sector, what happens is that as the manufacturing sector is claiming refund of the tax for the inputs, there is lot of corruption which goes in there."
