    "content": "of the things that they are supposed to do. For example, men are supposed to be husbands and fathers in the homes. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with the introduction of the Sugar Development Fund and the Sugar Development Levy, the levies should be used to maintain roads in the sugar growing areas. Like in Mumias, when we were there during one of the Member’s time, we were moving in a lot of dust until something was crafted. The levies can be there to ensure that roads are well maintained so that cane can be delivered to the factories early enough. I would wish to state that, as the sugar companies are being privatised, the land must also be taken care of, like the Nucleus Farm in Mumias. It must be protected at whatever cost. Let us not just rush in privatizing the factories at the expense of the land. The land must be protected like yesterday. Hon. Wamunyinyi, you have done a noble job of coming up with this Bill. Again, right now, you find that most of the farmers’ cane has dried in the farms since it took too long to be harvested. The Kibos Research Station should come up with a type of seed that can take a very short time and has high sucrose level so that farmers can plant sugar-cane that will be harvested early enough so that they are paid back and they do their other own things as it is required. I thank you. At this moment, I support the Bill as it is."
