    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we proposed that Clause 2 be deleted. This is for a good reason that there is no proper justification for the task of assessment and collection of industrial training levy and fees to be transferred from the National Industrial Training Authority (NITA) to KRA. Whereas, the Bill seeks to ensure efficiencies and wide coverage in collection of the industrial training levy, it was the Committee’s view that addressing these inefficiencies has already been done administratively through a non-rigid arrangement. Of course, this activity is already on-going. Accordingly, concerns relating to the inefficiencies in levy collections were addressed through administrative arrangements with KRA. Industrial training levies are now collected by KRA through the unified payroll system. The administrative arrangement with KRA has brought about efficiencies in levy collection and has increased the levy collection by 30 percent. This administrative arrangement offers NITA flexibility. It also retains autonomy in assessment of levies and control over the process as opposed to transferring the entire mandate of NITA to KRA. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, a legal notice on the above was issued in 2020 hence the amendment has been overtaken by events. That is why we propose that Clause 2 be amended as proposed."
