    "content": "Sugar industry with interest to part one. The parties in this case are the farmers and the millers. We are proposing a format that the Regulation should come up with a way an Agreement will be anchored so that we do not expose a farmer, leaving him alone. How do I separate that the Speaker owning plot A and Wangwe owning plot B cannot farm for two different mills? It is only the agreement that is going to distinguish that. The proposed Bill affects the functions of the county government as it deals with functions of agriculture as assigned to county governments under paragraph 1(ii) of the First Schedule of the Constitution. This is a money Bill and shall occasion additional expenditure of public funds. In this respect, I urge the Members to review the Bill with a fine tooth comb to appreciate its intent and purpose. In this sense, this Bill becomes critically important to address one of the greatest challenges currently affecting our sugar sub-sector. I have read the Committee’s Report and the recommendations for safeguarding Kenya's sugar industry. I am grateful to your able Office, the Clerk, and the Committee for the support you have accorded us, and all other stakeholders for their marvelous contributions to this Bill. I beg to move and ask the Member for Lugari, who was the Secretary to the Taskforce Committee, to make an input, and I definitely, know that the Member for Tinderet will have a long story to tell after that."
