    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 18 be amended— (a) by deleting sub-clause (1) and substituting therefor the following new sub-clause— “(1) The Cabinet Secretary may, in consultation with the Board, by order in the Gazette, impose a levy on domestic sugar and a ten per centum of CIF value on imported sugar to be known as the Sugar Development Levy.” (b) by inserting the following new sub-clauses immediately after sub-clause (6)— “(7) The Sugar Development Levy collected under subsection (2) shall be apportioned as follows— (a) fifteen per centum shall be applied by the Board for income or price stabilisation for sugar growers; (b) twenty per centum shall be applied by the Board in the furtherance or exercise of any function or power of the Board; (c) twenty per centum shall be remitted directly to the Institute; (d) forty-five per centum shall be applied for infrastructure development in the sugar subsector on a pro rata basis. “(8) the funds provided for under subsection (7) (a) shall be used to provide for sustainable, affordable credit and advances to farmers for all or any of the following purposes— (a) farm improvement; (b) farm inputs; (c) farming operations; and, (d) price stabilization. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this is a very straightforward proposed amendment. It is putting the word ‘shall’ in place of “may”."
