    "content": "Thank you, my distinguished nephew. Indeed, in the Bill that she moved, if you look at the composition of the Kenya Sugar Board, which is a national organ, there is only one representative from the entire 47 counties. The rest are your representatives. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we forgive the distinguished lady. She is an accountant and has never interacted with sugar production, either at the primary or secondary level. So, that is also a factor. We also want to appreciate what the Bill means by bringing in something called inspectors--- Sen. Farhiya should be taking notes because she must improve this Bill. Part V of the Bill is on appointment of crop inspectors. However, when you read through the Bill to Clause 29, there is barely any reference to crop inspection. Clause 29 states that- “The board may appoint qualified persons to be crop inspectors for the purposes of this Act.” What do they do? “The board will make regulations, prescribing qualifications for appointment as a crop inspector. Clause 30 states that- “An inspector or a person duly authorized in writing in that behalf by the board may, at all reasonable times and upon production of such authority to any person so requesting- a) enter any land or building occupied by the holder of a license issued under this Act or a person registered under this Act; Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, what would a crop inspector be doing in a building. There are no crops, particularly sugarcane in buildings. It does not make much sense. Sen. Farhiya, I know it is not your Bill, but you should find out what the Bill proposition intends to cover."
