    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I came up with this proposed amendment after I was convinced by a number of Members and stakeholders that I consulted. In the spirit of devolution and decentralisation of functions in the country, and for purposes of ensuring effective management and delivery of service to the people, stakeholders and partners within the sector, the headquarters be placed in Kisumu because that is where the major stakeholders and sugar-cane farmers are located. They are in Kakamega, Bungoma, Nyanza and in other parts in that area. Why should we, for instance, have headquarters of maize or the Managing Director of National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) sitting in Industrial Area in Nairobi when we know maize is grown in Eldoret, Kitale and Nakuru? Those areas are the granary of the country. I would also like to request Members to support this amendment so that the headquarters are easily accessible by the players."
