"content": "geographical area. The attempt by the Senator for Nandi County on the issue of election, is to represent community interests. We are not on community interests. For your information, Senate Majority Leader, one of the reasons we have failed in some areas is because of the factor of transporting cane. If you are taking cane too far, it becomes unproductive. I request that directors must be voted for in the zone that will have been adopted. Electing directors from outside, to go to a different zone, will have no useful purpose. It will create operational nightmare that is unhelpful. Since this is the only time I might speak on this, I congratulate the committee on the exemptions that they proposed. They are very important, because it admits the principle of free market economy. You cannot tie a farmer to somebody who is not helpful. That is very good. The only rider we should put there is that a miller from a different zone should not be allowed to erect a way-bridge in another zone. The moment they have a way-bridge in another zone, that is when poaching comes in. Thank you, Madam Temporary Chairperson."

"content": " There is something that my good Whip is missing. The problem we have in Kericho, Nandi and Uasin Gishu counties is that we have abundance of cane, but no mills. If you were to lump them for purposes of zoning, they only have access to one small private mill. That will not be sufficient to provide milling services to those farmers. That is why this request is coming in saying that in the delimitation of these regions, those that are in Upper Nandi or what is being referred to here as North Nandi and Uasin Gishu counties, have access to mills in Kakamega County because there are sufficient mills that side."

"content": "Madam Temporary Chairperson, we are making good progress on this. Even on the other matter where we had a stalemate, Sen. Omogeni and Sen. (Dr.) Oburu were able to convince us. We were told earlier to consult and report progress, to shift the burden of approval from the farmer to the board, such that the farmer only has to give notification. That is reasonable. The board should be notified by farmers that they will be supplying their cane outside their zone. This is because they do not owe any miller and that did not take any subsidy support from any of the millers. That is why they feel the need to supply elsewhere. It will be the work of the board to check whether what you are saying is true as opposed to a farmer going there. We felt that was a fair compromise, which we shall re-draft. 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."
