    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have some observations to make. Last time when we met as the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning and Commitee on Agriculture and Livestock, we had a very interactive session with the stakeholders. I thank the National Treasury for the Memorandum that came from them on the listing model. Most of these companies, like Mumias, that are being discussed here they are where they are because of the poor privatisation model that was used. I stand to support, 100 per cent, the model we have used because we have realised that state-owned sugar factories cannot compete with privately owned ones. After all, they do not have the capacity to buy new machines, diversify, add value, and other factors. I support zoning because there is no way you can allow somebody to travel a long distance to transport cane. After all, it creates extra costs that are then transferred to farmers. I ask Members to support zoning so that millers can focus on the little available land and develop canes so that we increase productivity. I also want to thank the President for the maneno matatu . The words are in the Bible whereby they say that whoever does not respect God and mfalme wa nchi, mambo ni matatu:ahamishwe … We ask the President, on the case of Miwani…."
