"content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, the rationale behind this amendment is the inclusion of the county government because agriculture being a devolved function, it was important to ensure that the CoG take part in the nomination of the board and the people who will run the board. Secondly, by changing and substituting, “nominated by universities” to “representing the universities nominated by the Commission on University Education”, ensures that it is also inclusive. Therefore, it does not claw back on the duties and the roles of the county government because this involves agriculture and it is a devolved function."

"content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, I agree with this amendment. In this Bill, we are trying to establish Kenya Sugar Research Institute. Universities are a hub of our research although they have been a challenge since they do not have proper funding. However, with Kenya Sugar Levy Fund that will be levied, it will allow extensive research in the type of breed that we will plant across western and rift valley part of this country. Secondly, as the Chairperson for Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries has said, agriculture is devolved. Finally, on the person nominated to be on the board, the CoG should nominate somebody with a background and understanding of the sugar sector. That is how sugar industry operates from the way it is planted, harvested, milled, and also the marketing of sugar. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

The representative of the CoG with a background in the industry of sugar, ensures that the aspects that are devolved in this industry are well catered for. Remember, in the Bill, we have inspectors, seedling preparation and dissemination, the pricing committee in this exercise and the cess that counties will receive. Therefore, the person representing the counties must understand the various regions that grow sugarcane and the dire challenges they go through. They have no reason not to give us a qualified person to sit in the board and ensure that the CoG and agriculture being devolved, gets a fair representation in the board."
