    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I do not want to waste my time because I am also a beneficiary of this mediated version. I want to appreciate the committee that came up with this, bringing order to a completely disorganized industry where cartels reigned. As I said before, I was educated through sugarcane proceeds. I have seen what they have proposed and recommended in the mediated version, and I am totally in agreement with what they are proposing. The most important one is that which allows farmers to take their sugarcane to any miller unless they are contracted. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am happy with the kind of variety of sugarcane that they are proposing for 12 months which is different from the 18 months one that we previously had. On representation, that is the best thing that has happened: that this thing is rotational and we are going to kill all the cartels. The levy on imported sugar has been a big problem for the sugar industry. I know we want to finish so that we can conclude this matter that has taken years to go through. Thank you, again. I thank the Committee for coming up with this mediated version. I believe that going forward, we are going back to what the sugar industry used to be at the time when I was growing up and not the cartels that we currently have. Thank you very much Wangwe and the team. I support. Sorry to be rushed."
