    "content": "I believe we would gain more if they are not taxed. That is because if they are taxed and they fail to continue with that kind of business, I am sure they will go to the alternative of thuggery, which is very dangerous. That is why we have to be very careful and look at the impact of any tax that we are starting or increasing. I have an opinion that this area must be looked into very carefully and immediately. Moving from zero-rating to exempting maize and maize products is another one which is going to create a lot of noise in this country. People will complain. If the price of maize goes up, everyone in Kenya will feel it because I tend to believe that maize is a staple food for all Kenyans. The increase of the two will touch the lowest as well as the highest. I would wish that maize and other foodstuffs are left without taxation."
