"content": " Hon. Temporary Chairlady, what my colleague, Hon. Didmus Barasa, has said is quite true. This Bill appears to be looking at the miller as the main person. The core person in the sugar industry is the farmer. When we have a Bill that tries to protect millers at the expense of farmers, it only shows that we have gone wrong and rogue. We have missed the target. The person to be protected is the farmer. If the miller is not competitive, let him or her perish. If they want to have economies of scale, let them have large plants. In this particular case, we had said we do not want the word ‘zoning’ in this Bill. How did it come back? Yet we, the farmers and members of the former Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock in the last Parliament said the word “zoning” should not exist in this Bill. How was it brought back? We need to make the farmer the king."
