• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we proposed that Clause 2 be deleted. This is for a good reason that there is no proper justification for the task of assessment and collection of industrial training levy and fees to be transferred from the National Industrial Training Authority (NITA) to KRA. Whereas, the Bill seeks to ensure efficiencies and wide coverage in collection of the industrial training levy, it was the Committee’s view that addressing these inefficiencies has already been done administratively through a non-rigid arrangement. Of course, this activity is already on-going. Accordingly, concerns relating to the inefficiencies in levy collections were ... view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 3. Even as we consider the proposal by Hon. Jude Njomo, we should be very cognisant of the efficiency of the National Industrial Training Authority when we create huge barriers by clawing The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: away some of its responsibilities. It is not creation of efficiencies, but responsibilities of NITA, which is critical. This mandate is under the direct jurisdiction of the cabinet secretary. The National Industrial Training Authority (NITA) will be more efficient if it carries out this function. Those were our key considerations as a Committee. I plead with the House to be a bit considerate. As a Committee, we felt that there is no proper justification to transfer the mandate to assess and collect levies to the Kenya Revenue Authority. The National Industrial Training Authority is the ideal institution best-placed to know ... view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 4. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare recommends that Clause 4 be deleted for the reason that there is no proper justification for the Industrial Levy to fund other programmes that are not work place-related such as TVET and HELB. The Industrial Training Act is an Act of Parliament relating to the regulations of training of persons engaged in industry which is supported by the Industrial Training Levy which is an employer’s money. The Industrial Training Levy Fund ... view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, there is no proper justification to increase the fee payable. The Training Levy of Kshs600 per employee per month was assessed as sufficient by stakeholders and NITA. Contributing towards the training is undertaken on persons before the entry to the world of work which is contrary to the intentions of the Act and contemplates training after employment. It also removes the focus of the Industrial Levy Fund from workplace training. Additionally, the institutions proposed to benefit are already funded through the Exchequer and other revenue streams. Funding the same institutions through levies collected from employees leaves ... view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 5. Of course, considering the trend all the previous clauses have taken, we gave caution that if we are deducting levies from employees, practically speaking, such revenue is not enough to train everyone in this country unless we appropriate in the budget. So, we have to be cautious and make a law that is easy to implement and works. As for Clause 5, we propose that the Bill be amended by deleting it. Of course, if all other previous amendments were rejected, this amendment ... view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I have to present the entire position of the Committee for purposes of consideration by the House. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting the long title. The justification is that the Committee was of the view that the amendment Bill is unnecessary as the proposals have been implemented through administrative changes and further, others have been overtaken by legislative changes. That is the position of the Committee. view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Do I really have a proposal? Indeed, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 1. The Committee was of the view that the amendment is unnecessary as the proposals have been implemented through administrative changes and others have been overtaken by legislative changes. So, we propose to delete Clause 1. view

(ii) When will the said funds be paid to Ms. Doris Okello considering that she had provided the necessary documents for processing of the dues in 1994? view
