    "content": "The worst bit of it is that most of the large-scale millers were paid their money. However, the small-scale millers or those who were trying to get into the market were not paid. Why were the small-scale millers not paid and yet, the large-scale millers were paid? It is because the small- scale farmers were not able to give kickbacks in advance like the large-scale millers. Up to now, they have not been paid and the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock is pleading with the Budget and Appropriations Committee to factor in a budget for them. As a House, we must ensure that this time round, the money for the small-scale millers is in the Budget and, more so, in the Supplementary Budget so that they can get their money and continue with their lives to enable them to do their businesses. I support and insist that we fast-track this Report in terms of recommendations."
