    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 39 and replacing it with the following new clause- Amendment 39. The First Schedule to the of the first Revenue Authority Act is Schedule to amended in Part III- Cap.469. (a) by inserting the following new item immediately after item 10- 11. The Government Lands Act (Cap.280) (b) by inserting the following new item immediately after item 11- 12. The Sugar (Imposition of Levy) Order, 2002 (L.N.385/2002). Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the import of the amendment, basically, arises from the consultations we had with the Departmental Committee and hon. Members, during which we refined the issue of the Sugar Development Levy. It was agreed that once we accept that this levy should be charged on the consumer, it becomes a consumer tax, which should be collected by the Kenya Revenue Authority, and not by any other institution. We are now giving legal powers to the Kenya Revenue Authority to collect the Sugar Development Levy and pass it on to the Exchequer. The money collected will then be channelled back to the users, through the Ministry of Agriculture, as an Exchequer Issue rather than the illegality we are now living in."
