    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this committee is the one which determines the price of sugar cane. The way they calculate it is that they take the net of ex-factory price per tonne, divide by 1.16 and what you get, you go further and divide it by 1.04. That is how you are supposed to calculate. This was passed in 2001 and the formula was too complicated to be implemented. Just two months ago, they developed a simpler method of calculating what to be charged. For example, let us take Chemilil Sugar Factory. The ex-factory sugar price in May was Kshs3,450. They are supposed to pay the sugar delivered by the farmer at Kshs2,860. If you go down to Muhoroni, the ex-factory sugar price was Kshs3, 538 and they are supposed to pay Kshs2, 933 to the farmer for the sugar cane delivered. This is only going to apply from 1st June, 2009. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to lay on the Table of the House the guidelines which have been developed by the farmers, the Ministry and Millers. Any miller who is not going to abide by these guidelines, is going to be penalized. The guidelines are going to be gazetted this week or next week so that we can punish those who are not going to comply."
