    "content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, I support the amendment on Clause 38 by the committee. The Kenya Sugar Research and Training Institute is critical in cane development and sugar industry. That includes from the time it is grown, the type and many other factors. I agree that this should be a conditional grant. Mr. Chairman, Sir, where some of us come from, we normally have tea and sugar cess. You are ware that when they transport sugarcane, feeder roads, especially where sugarcane is planted get destroyed. Factories or millers normally pay cess. I agree that county roads should be left to county governments and given conditional grants, which will ensure the cess that is paid for sugarcane delivery is used to maintain the roads within that area where sugarcane is harvested. In Chemelil-Chemase, Chepterwai Ward, Songhor-Soba Ward in Tinderet, Aldai, Mosop and Kabiyet, most of the roads used to transport sugarcane are in poor and pathetic conditions. Farmers normally complain that they are paid cess. I agree that we should ring-fence this. We should not be managed by the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA). I know Members of the National Assembly wanted to be mischievous."
