    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on zoning and the catchment areas, millers have been put together in a zone that provides a catchment area for them. This ensures that companies have an opportunity to operate and compete in terms of pricing. This gives the farmer an opportunity to benefit from that catchment area. That catchment area turning into a zone gives the farmers an opportunity to equally get representation in the sugar board. Therefore, we are dealing with a scenario where the boundaries will give the companies an opportunity to harvest cane from those areas and give farmers from those areas a chance of representation. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this sugar board will give guidance to sugar inspectors to ensure that the millers do the right thing in terms of human resource, hygiene and environmental concerns. They will ensure the quality of sugarcane given to farmers is monitored both by the county government and the millers. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, therefore, I do not want to go into much detail, but I assure Kenyans that today, we have begun a new chapter. We are bringing to them a Bill that will sort out the mess in the sugar industry and bring sanity to it. I thank you. I, therefore, call the Senate Majority Leader, my good friend, Sen. Aaron Cheruiyot to second."
