    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. My colleagues took a lot of time on this Bill. They invested their time and energy. It is, therefore, important that I appreciate them, right from the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock, especially the Hon. Chairman, Vice-Chairman and the Membership. I will not forget the secretariat who traversed the country to discuss this Bill until its maturity today. I request them to accept my appreciation. Their input was valued. Hon. Deputy Speaker, allow me to most sincerely appreciate the Speaker of the National Assembly who really supported the course of this Bill all round, and made it possible for it to be here today. Allow me to also appreciate the taskforce which held 17 sittings across the country. All the information we gathered for this Bill is a product of this taskforce. Allow me to appreciate the Sugar Caucus which is a team of colleagues in this House. They took their time to make the Bill a success. Allow me to appreciate the Western Parliamentary Caucus which held a seminar in Kakamega to discuss the Bill. Finally, I must acknowledge that this Bill has come to the House for the second time. The first time it appeared here was through Hon. Wamunyinyi. We were here with you. Allow me to recognise his efforts. He made a build-up of this Bill in his capacity as a Member of this House. I thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me the time to appreciate my colleagues."
