    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, there is no proper justification to increase the fee payable. The Training Levy of Kshs600 per employee per month was assessed as sufficient by stakeholders and NITA. Contributing towards the training is undertaken on persons before the entry to the world of work which is contrary to the intentions of the Act and contemplates training after employment. It also removes the focus of the Industrial Levy Fund from workplace training. Additionally, the institutions proposed to benefit are already funded through the Exchequer and other revenue streams. Funding the same institutions through levies collected from employees leaves NITA with little resources to benefit the employees. On this one, I want to plead with the House to agree with the Committee because this is a deduction from workers meant to build their capacity. It cannot then be directed elsewhere. In its wisdom, the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare found that this was going to destroy the capacity of NITA. So, we propose the deletion of that clause."
