Unfortunately its not same as pombe since the law was amended and passed in parliament to add this excise amount. Same process has to be done to reverse the law...

Parliament had last time refused to pass that bill (Or rather amended that section) and the president took the bill back to parliament. Now they take it back again so that whatever they insisted on and parliament had disagreed on can be reversed!

The standard says it will cost 20% more to import and business daily says it will revert to pre Dec 2015.now which is which and where can I see or get correct info

Mr. Speaker, last year I introduced excise duty on motor vehicles based on the age of the vehicles at a specific rate. This has been perceived to be unfair, inequitable and punitive to importers of vehicles commonly imported by low income earners but beneficial to importers of luxurious vehicles. In order to address the situation, I propose to amend the Excise Duty Act, 2015 to remove specific rate of duty and introduce advalorem rate of 20% based on the value of the vehicle"

These changes wont take effect immediately, the 2015 excise duty act has to be amended, I suspect the earliest will be in Dec 2016.
