    "content": "You cannot have a population of more than 20 million people with no sugar industry. It does not work. As we consider this Bill, I request Hon. Wangwe not to stop at this. There are too many laws on sugar. What will help us, as the people from Western Kenya, is to ensure that enough money is allocated in the Budget to deal with this matter once and for all. Hon. Temporary Speaker, we must put in the law some punitive measures against delaying payment for farmers. There are farmers who committed suicide because they were not paid. Weighing and transportation of sugarcane are issues that lie at the heart of sugarcane farming. Therefore, I request that if we mean well, let us streamline research, technology and ownership of sugarcane farms. Let us give these to farmers. As politicians, let us keep our hands off the sugar industry. Let us look for money elsewhere. It is the same thing like in maize farming. With those remarks, I support, hoping that we will propose amendments at the right time. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
