This Committee under Recommendation 15 is recommending mobile phone service providers to comply with the law. The law is there. They are the ones who have provided the SIM cards and the numbers of the terrorists of the Westgate. That is why the suspects are in court. I said earlier that I have a lot of respect. It is not the respect to die on the Floor of this House. We killed the report of the Committee on Education, Research and Technology because somebody somewhere did money business in the interview. There will be more reports that will be killed ...

I would like to take this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. When we passed the VAT Bill last time, a number of issues came up. As a result of the VAT adjustment in a number of commodities, it happened that the cost of living of the common mwananchi was affected. Therefore, this is an opportunity to for us to amend that particular Bill and put things in the right perspective.

I support this Bill because of the waiver it gives to certain very important items relating to the daily common life of mwananchi, like milk, making it possible for Kenyans to afford milk for infants. As it is now, infant milk is too expensive for ordinary Kenyans to provide it to their children. This amendment Bill gives us an opportunity to rectify that mistake.

In addition to that, other common household items like mosquito nets and fishing nets, which are very important for our fishing industry, are now getting the opportunity of being exempted from VAT. Recently, the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) of Balambala opted to buy an ambulance for our constituency. One of the things that turned out to be prohibitive was the cost of taxation on ambulances. This amendment Bill gives us an opportunity to remove those kinds of costs.

Therefore, I do not want to say much. I only want to say that I support this Bill. I really thank hon. Mbadi for taking this very bold step to correct these kinds of things that caused the kinds of riots and demonstrations that we witnessed across the country. I call upon other hon. Members to pass this amendment Bill, so that we can make the living of the common mwananchi to be less painful than it is currently as a result of the VAT Bill that we passed earlier on.
