"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries led by my Chairman the Senate Majority Leader and I, the co-sponsor of the Bill, decided to turn a new leaf in the history of this country and the sugar industry, that we put to rest the political gymnastics around the sugar industry. The sugar industry is not a political platform to resurrect political dimwits or a political mortuary where morticians will want to find relevance to resurrect their political lives. That is why yours truly the Senator of Bungoma County came up with this Bill to ensure that we bring sanity to this industry. The Bill talks of zones or catchment areas where the industry players, factories or millers have an area of operation. Their sugarcane can be harvested from a particular area without traversing from Narok to Busia County just to get sugarcane. As you know, the price of sugar is constant. This Bill has an element of a pricing committee where the tonnage of sugar is going to be determined based on the current cost of production. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
