    "content": "“No Motion may be moved which is the same in substance as any question which has been resolved (either in the affirmative or in the negative) during the preceding six months in the same session”. Looking at this Motion before us, you can see it will ask us to approve the provisional collection of taxes relating to the Income Tax, the Value Added Tax and the Excise Duty. Just a few days ago, we dealt with the Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill and some of the issues that we resolved are actually captured in the provisions here. I will give you an example of the VAT Act. Under the VAT Act, there were items which were supposed to be brought to exempt. We resolved that they should remain zero-rated. If through this provision of taxes, we decide to approve that KRA will continue collecting taxes, I am bit at a loss. I can see Hon. Kimunya is saying no, but I can read the items that I can see here. We have tax on wheat and maslin seeds, raw material for manufacture of animal feeds. These are now brought to exempt. These are the same items that we removed from exempt to zero-rating."
