    "content": "The Sugar Board is very important because it will be regulating the sugar industry. We have allocated it 15 per cent. We also have issues of road maintenance and infrastructure development in general, which we have allocated 10 per cent but we said the counties will not touch that money. It will be managed by KeRRA and leaders from the sugar belts will decide which roads will be made. We also need to build democracy and advocacy within the sugar industry. We have said 5 per cent will go to farmers advocacy groups so that they can have money to be able to propagate their issues. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Sugar Bill will bring radical change in western, Nyanza and Coast regions as well as in some parts of Rift Valley region. I urge Members to debate this Bill so that at the end of the day we do justice to it. I call upon all the Members of this House to support it so that we expedite its passage and have it sent to the Senate for concurrence to ensure that we have sanity in the sugar industry."
