"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Chairperson, for the indulgence. When you look at the Bill, Clause 6B, the First Schedule is specifically used for elections of farmers' representatives from the five regions for purposes of elections to KSB. He asked a very important question. I come from Nandi County. We do not have a miller or a sugar factory. I am only 18 kilometres from the many factories that are in Kisumu. The reason I want to work with Kakamega for cane development is because most of the factories are in Kakamega, for example, Naitiri, Kabras, and Butali. When you come to Nandi South, we have Kibos, Muhoroni, Miwani, Sony, among others. That is why this Second Schedule is very critical because it is convenient for farmers of cane development. For example, Nandi does not have even one sugar milling factory, but Kisumu has more than seven. If you go to Nandi, Kericho and Uasin Gishu counties, it is only Kericho that has one sugar factory that might not be able to accommodate the capacity because it might only be crushing 1,200 metric tonnes. Chemelil-Chemase, which is only 18 kilometres from Kisumu, produces 1,800 metric tonnes. You have not added Sigowet-Soin, Kipkaren, Aldai, Mosop and Tinderet. So, the one factory will be overwhelmed. 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."
