    "content": "i: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to confirm to the hon. Member that, that taxation was stopped in 2003. With regard to the Kshs19 million that the Member has mentioned, that money was remitted to various commercial banks. I have a schedule showing the payment by Nzoia Sugar Company. The first cheque - Cheque No.026934 for Kshs10,047,106.35 - was issued on 24th October, 2008. The second cheque was issued on 18th November, 2008. It was Cheque No.026969. The names of the farmers who were paid are listed here. I will lay the list on the Table, so that the hon. Member can look at it. A total of Kshs14,085,454 has already been paid. Nzoia Sugar Company has not remitted the 1 per cent levy to the Kenya National Sugar-cane Growers Union. As I said, there is no contractual obligation between the two parties. However, Nzoia Sugar Company pays its growers fortnightly."
