    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairman, the import of the amendment proposed by Hon. Chairman is that the distribution of the Sugar Development Levy is actually 40 per cent to the cane development. Earlier on, they had indicated infrastructure to be 10 per cent and the management of the board at 15 per cent. That one was very wrong since the roads are bad in the sugarcane growing areas. So, let the infrastructure of the sugarcane growing areas have 15 per cent of the Sugar Development Levy and 10 per cent goes to the management of the board. If you compute this, you will realise that if you allocate 15 per cent to the board, it will be millions of shillings which will not do the core functions which are sugar production, transport and sugar development. On the issue of catchment areas, we said that the money levied should go to the development of roads of the individual catchment area through KeRRA, so that the money does not go to areas which do not grow sugarcane. It should specifically go to catchment areas where that sugarcane comes from. I support the amendment."
