    "content": "maintenance, farmers in that region do not suffer and we do not kill competition. Those people who might have thought we are going to kill competition should not worry. We are simply going to provide a market. Our farmers will be supported so that they do not lack where to sell their produce. The board shall also have a say on importation of sugar. Today, the Cabinet Secretary and the staff at Agriculture and Food Authority, his own staff, sit and decide how much sugar is going to come into the country and when. Yes, we know Kenya is a signatory to regional treaties and there are import quotas, but organisation on how to import is in the hands of the Ministry alone. This time, farmers, millers and county governments, all through the board, shall have a stake to decide when to import. My colleagues are waiting and interested in adding their voices to this Bill. There are various good things in this Bill such as how land acreage is going to be addressed. Research shall also be addressed by the board. Reading the Bill at length, the Report of the Committee and looking at the deliberations of the stakeholders, we shall consider much of their proposals at the Committee of the whole House stage. With those many remarks, I beg to second."
