    "content": "regulations are utilized to make sure that the funds get to the farmer, so that if it is for roads, they build the roads. The question of collections from cess needs to be stressed and made clear. The real work in this Sugar Bill lies in the regulations. I would be urging the governors who come from the sugar belt and the other areas that are going to be affected by this Act, to begin burning the midnight oil to make sure that the regulations that are made under Section 60 breathe life to this Act and seal all the loopholes that are still standing to ensure that the intention of Parliament when enacting this Act, that the sugar cane growers may thrive in the Republic of Kenya are realized. Otherwise, you are not going to get far. I support this Bill and implore on my brothers and sisters in this August House to also put their weight behind this Bill. If there is anything you are uncomfortable with in this Bill, please, let us hold our fire, so that, at least, we detach the sugar industry from Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA). If we achieve this, we can always come back with amendment Bills to fix whatever we are not comfortable with. However, let us not throw the baby away with the birth water. With those remarks, I support the Bill, and thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute."
