    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 34 of the Bill be amended— (a) by deleting sub-clause (1) and substituting therefor the following new sub clause— “(1) The Cabinet Secretary shall in consultation with the Board, by order in the Gazette, impose a levy on domestic Sugar not exceeding four per centum of the value and a four per centum of CIF value on imported sugar to be known as the Sugar Development Levy”. (b) by deleting sub clause (6); (c) by deleting sub clause (7) and substituting therefor the following new sub clause — “(7) The Sugar Development Levy collected under sub-section (2) shall be appropriated as follows— (a) fifteen per centum shall be applied for factory development and rehabilitation; (b) fifteen per centum shall be applied for research and training; (c) forty per centum shall be applied for cane development and productivity enhancement; (d) ten per centum shall be applied for infrastructural development and maintenance and shall be managed by Kenya Rural Roads Authority; (e) fifteen per centum shall be applied for the administration of the Board; and (f) five per centum shall be applied for the furtherance and exercise of the functions of sugarcane farmers organisations”. (d) by deleting sub clause (8). The import of this amendment is to substitute the proportions of the Sugar Development Levy that goes to infrastructural development and maintenance to 15 per cent and that which goes to administration of the board to 10 per cent. On the other hand, we would also like to propose that 15 per cent of the infrastructural development and maintenance is managed by the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA)."
