    "content": " The Committee had reservations. So, I thought it would be wise to hear what the Committee had noticed. It is imperative to note that the Kenya Sugar Board was transited to the Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Authority (AFFA), with all its assets under the AFFA Act, 2013. The First Schedule of the AFFA Act provides that “former institution” means any institution established by the Repeal Act or invoked Legal Notice existing immediately before the appointment day and include the Coconut Development Authority and others” under which the Sugar Board falls. The Sugar Act, 2001 was in essence repealed by the AFFA Act. Therefore, what is in existence and governing the former staff of the Kenya Sugar Board is AFFA and a transition ought to take place in that context to ensure that it does not only anvil beyond that which is currently existing, but also take cognisant of the fact that amendments by Parliament should be procedural, consistent and reasonable. The proposal in this Bill under Clause 36 has been done in the same manner that the House did the Tea Act. Thank you."
