Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No. 2) Bill. At the outset, I would like to say that I support most of these amendments, except one. I will specifically dwell on that. It is the clause which introduces the dairy regulation levy. New Section 23A says: “(1) There shall be payable to the Board by every producer a dairy regulatory levy at the rate of one per centum of ex-factory price per kilogramme of processed milk and milk products. (2) Despite sub-section (1), a county government may, pursuant to Article 209 (3)(c), impose a cess, payable to the county government on any milk or milk produced within the county.”"}
