"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, allow me to confirm that I began farming sugar-cane in 1984 and to date, I still farm sugar-cane. Without sugar-cane, I would not be in this House. Therefore, if you talk about sugar-cane production, you have really touched my nerve. In 1984, an acre of sugar-cane would give you about Ksh35,000. It is a shame that today, you could plant sugar-cane on a 10-acre piece of land but the returns would be close to nothing. I wish to invert the Report. Hon. Kenta, you called it: “The Crisis Facing the Sugar Industry”. I would say that, that time the industry was in the High Dependency Unit (HDU) but, today, it is in Intensive Care Unit (ICU)."
