    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Before I even reply, although the Standing Orders do not allow me to donate, allow me to thank the Hon. (Dr) Nyikal. As a Member of this House, we began the journey together on the Sugar Bill in the last Parliament and in many of the 17 meetings we attended in Kisumu and the rest of the country, we were together. Allow me to thank Hon. Melly. We were with you in this journey and today it is coming to fruition. The Sugar Bill is becoming a reality. My colleagues raised issues to do with the Mediation Bill.

Therefore, many of the issues that, maybe, my colleagues expected to see today are as we voted in the earlier version of the Bill from the National Assembly. There are also issues of concern from my colleagues to do with the restrictions and how open we are about farmers' issues. I want to reiterate that Clause 19 is restrictive and it addresses how a farmer is supposed to relate with a miller. We have allowed those who do not want to be restricted to a particular miller using Clause 20, that they are free. They are at liberty to now produce the cane on their own volition and sell it to whomever. Therefore, we just want to say this will bring sanity. The larger population shall be restricted to how they are supposed to work. Those who do not want to be contracted have also been given liberty. Allow me to thank my colleagues as I did in the moving. Out of 14 Members of my mediation team, 12 Members have signed the adoption list confirming, indeed, what Dr Oundo was saying in terms of how you bring together all the members of the team to work together. We want to say it was great and we appreciate. We thank God that the team I was given in both The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
