    "content": "Madam Temporary Chairperson, my concern is when this Bill came from the National Assembly, we had one Schedule, which was supposed to suffice for election and delivery of cane. I have not heard the strong justification from the Mover of the amendment, who proposes a New Second Schedule for sugarcane zones, because the problem is that it has disaggregated. For example, in the First Schedule, you will find that Kisumu, Migori, Homa Bay, Kisii and Narok counties are in the southern zone. In the Second Schedule, you will find that Kisumu has now moved to central region. Kisumu is now with Southern Nandi and Kericho counties. This could be mischief, but I do not want to impute improper motives. I would like the Mover of the Second Schedule, not just to leave it to be included in the amended form, but to justify and tell the House why the Second Schedule is significantly different from the First Schedule. This is because if you are going to use a unit for elections, then it follows that that electoral unit has similar interests and concerns. That is the unit you also use for development of cane. This can bring about certain confusion. I do not see the Member for Kisumu County, but I would have been interested to find out whether he is comfortable with that. That for election purposes, Kisumu is lumped up with Migori, Homa Bay and Kisii counties, but for cane development purposes is lumped up with Southern Nandi and Kericho counties."
