"content": " I want you to guide the young legislator that this is a House of debate. This is a House where we ventilate on issues affecting our people. We do not just deposit legislative proposals in this House and pass them unanimously without critique. It is in order to inform the Member that any issue on this Bill shall be brought to this House for amendment after six months. It is proper. I guide the Hon Member of Soy on that. On catchment and zoning, I just want to discuss this more specifically. I thank the Committee because the word zoning is not there. However, there are some contentious issues on catchment where the farmer or the grower is restricted to particular mills. I agree with Hon K’Oyoo. In this case, the farmer should be completely free and without any trappings or conditions to take his crop anywhere. I want to give examples of other crops like tea, coffee, and the rest. A rose by any other name is still a rose. Because this is a mediated version, I will be proposing that catchment be very clear. This is especially on the farmer's or the grower's responsibility. More importantly, what the miller is supposed to do. Most farmers in my area are not contracted farmers like in Muhoroni. A majority of contracted farmers are in other zones. They are free to do what they want to do with their crop. Yes, the document is a fairer copy than the previous one debated by the Senate. In this case, on that particular issue, I am of the opinion that we shall be proposing some amendments at the stipulated time. I thank you. I support."
