    "content": "on an 8 per cent Value Added Tax (VAT) on diesel. Farm machineries use diesel. Have we subsidised the farmer? Let us not cheat ourselves. I told this House before that the SGR was headed in the wrong direction. They did not believe me. Look at what the SGR is doing to Mombasa. Mombasa business is dying because of SGR. This one will finish the farmers who are left standing. This Bill is wrong. My dear colleagues, throw it out. It is not worth the paper it is written on. In fact, whoever tabled this Bill should be surcharged for the cost and time that the two Houses of Parliament have taken to debate such an incorrect Bill. Does one size fit all? Because it worked in India, does it mean that it should work here? No way. This is a licence to finish our farmers. I oppose it."
