    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I would like to refer the Member to the mediated version of the Bill. Zoning was one of the contentious issues. We could not possibly lock farmers to specific factories, so we refused. What we have done is to provide for a minimum of three factories in a catchment area. That is what the Bill says. If all the three factories fail, then there is a serious problem in the entire industry. We also introduced the idea that catchment areas are also considered electoral colleges. So, elections for representation on the Board will be held within the catchment areas. We also agreed that representation within an electoral area will be rotational by county. For instance, if Kisumu County produces a representative this season, in the next season, somebody from Kericho County will be elected, and so on. As long as they are in the same catchment area, we can also introduce equity. That issue has thoroughly been discussed and dealt with."
