    "content": "Secondly, the increase or decrease must be published in the Kenya Gazette ; it was done in this case. It was through regulations such as those we have before us today. Thirdly, he cannot impose excise on goods or services that are not excisable. Four, immediately the CS has published this; he must table it before the National Assembly within seven days of publication. I can confirm that he was within that period. The section further provides that the National Assembly should pass the resolution of variation within 21 days from the date on which the House next sits after the variation has been put in the Kenya Gazette . Again, we are within that period today. The problem with this regulation and the basis upon which it is being annulled is very simple. The adjustments to be done on excisable goods are specified in Part I of the Schedule yet the legal notice 164 excluded all excisable goods in the first table of Part I of the First Schedule that relate to spirits, oil and so on. If you look at the First Schedule, it relates to motor spirits, motor oil, jet fuel, light oils, kerosene and other residual oils. The CS did not place excise duty on it. Instead, he only, electively, picked Part II which deals with fruit juices, food supplements, cosmetics, beverages, beer, powdered beer, spirits, electronic cigarettes, cartridges for use of electronic cigarettes and cigarette filters."
