    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have a problem with the first part of the amendment where it says that the imported levy on domestic sugar and 10 per cent of CIF value. The Chair has to explain to us the economic justification for this amendment given that 10 per cent of CIF of imported sugar is still going to make it easy for importers of sugar to bring sugar into this country. So, it is not helping us. If we compare that against Hon. Wamunyinyi’s proposal, it is left open so that in times where there is too much imported sugar, the Cabinet Secretary can charge a higher percentage of the levy. The Chair has to give to this House the economic justification of the 10 per cent on imported CIF value of sugar."
