    "content": "The sugarcane industry was the backbone of the economy for the people of western Kenya. That is our economy. We did everything from sugarcane farming and, thus, the nostalgic memories about that. Most of us are here because of the sugarcane industry. I schooled because my grandmother and grandfather were able to pay my school fees through sugarcane farming. That is not possible now as there is a big problem. Most farmers have uprooted their sugarcane. This has happened since there is no profits from its farming. We, the leaders, are going to fight for the welfare of the farmers. We have established factories in place. If someone is suggesting that we should stop sugarcane farming and do something else, what are we going to do with those factories like Mumias, Nzoia, Miwani and Sony? If we stop sugarcane farming, where do we take all those facilities? What do we with them? We are going to look for ways and means to ensure that sugarcane farming is profitable to those who used to profit from it."
