    "content": "THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting clause 35 and substituting therefor the following new clause Amendment of 35. Section 8 of the Miscellaneous Fees and Levies Act, 2016 is amended 8 of No.29 of by- 2016 (a) deleting the expression “one point five” appearing immediately after words “rate of” and substituting therefor the word “two” b) inserting the following new subsection immediately after subsection (2) – (2A) Without prejudice to the provisions of subsection (2), the levy at a rate of one point five per cent shall be charged on the customs value of- (a) raw materials and intermediate products imported by manufacturers approved by the Cabinet Secretary, on the recommendation of the Cabinet Secretary responsible for matters relating to industry; and, (b) inputs for the construction of houses under an affordable housing scheme approved by the Cabinet Secretary, on the recommendation of the Cabinet Secretary responsible for matters relating to housing. This amount is almost the same as that in Clause 34, but it is concerning the Railway Development Levy (RDL) which is being proposed for the purpose of actualising the affordable housing projects of the Big Four Agenda. The RDL will be at 1.5 per cent. This is similar to IDF. So, we are providing that RDL will be charged at 1.5 per cent for the purpose of affordable housing projects."
