    "content": "I also support the Bill because it envisages the drive for the industrialisation of this country. Considering that the Jubilee Government is establishing a lot of Technical Training Institutes (TTIs) in the country, we need to entice the young graduates who will come out of those TTIs to make sure that our country is fully industrialised. Manpower in technology shall also be available. I have a concern with three issues, in respect of which I will introduce amendments during the Committee of the whole House stage. The first one is on Import Declaration Fee (IDF). This Bill suggests that IDF shall be levied at 2 per cent. That is too much for importation. On this provision, I differ with the Leader of the Majority Party. There is also the issue of the Railway Development Levy. We are going to allow East African Community (EAC) member states to import from the EAC partner states provided that they meet the EAC rules of origin. The EAC and Kenya are one. I will differ with that at the Committee of the whole House. The percentage levied on metal exports is a bit lower. During the Committee of the whole House, I will propose a higher figure so that we can check the issues of metals and the effect of metal works in the economy."
