"content": "Government and county government. With this arrangement, the sugar industry is going to be as vibrant as it used to be. This research institute as well is going to breed and promote sugarcane varieties suitable for various ecological areas of Kenya. The kind of sugarcane variety that is supposed to be found in Tana River County, where my brother, senior, Sen. Mungatana, comes from, might not be the same variety to be found in Narok County or Mumias. So, with this kind of research, we are sure that we are getting the best breed in those specific areas. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have also noticed that in the Bill, we also have established the appointment of sugar industry inspectors. In this Bill the board will appoint qualified sugar industry inspectors for purposes of undertaking its functions under this Act or any other written law. Under this arrangement, a person shall not be appointed as a Sugar industry inspector unless that person holds an academic or professional qualification prescribed by the board. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this one is going to keep away quacks and political fraudsters who are looking to find their way in this industry, which is very important. Under this arrangement, the sugar industry is going to regain its glory. I support this Bill, and hope we will develop many other Bills that are likely to safeguard the interest of the Kenyan farmer."
