    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to support this Bill and appreciate the work of my Senator, Sen. Aaron Cheruiyot. A good idea always produces good ideas, not necessarily better ideas. I think your idea was better in trying to deal with the sector and with this very important crop for us. I also want to thank our Committee for the work they did that ended up in the preparation of a Bill that went to the National Assembly and it has now come back to us. To Sen. Aaron Cheruiyot, this may be a lasting legacy for you. This is because there are a lot of times when people want us to remember them with Bills of statues or questions they brought before this Parliament. I remember for my colleague in Siaya, hon. Donde, his Bill became the brand wherever he goes even today. For the late J.M. Kariuki, it was the Hire Purchase Act, what he did in respect of the amendment---In fact, it was the first Bill by a private Member that ever hit the Floor of Parliament in our history. I want to categorize the work of the Ad Hoc Committee and the work that has been by Sen. Cheruiyot in that regard as historic. There was one time I was in a delegation that went to Mumias. In that delegation, we had a Member of Parliament from Trans Nzoia. Trans Nzoia is all about maize. If you go to Mumias, it is all about sugar. All these crops are very important depending on the areas where you come from. Definitely, I hope that we are going to take up on the footsteps of Sen. Cheruiyot and correct the other vagaries that are confronting the other crops, particularly the ones that I have mentioned."
