    "content": " Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am very conversant with the titles of Sen. Ojienda because he is a friend of mine. However, I concur that indeed he is a professor of Law. Regarding the question that the hon. Senator asked about the regulation, I will repeat that the idea is to consolidate because it makes more sense and is easier to manage. For example, in the Sugar Act, I apologise to the House because I am supposed to have sent the regulations by now. It takes a few public hearings, which take time. Nonetheless, I will ensure that I bring the regulations as soon as possible. We are in the process of entering into a Private-Public Partnership (PPP) with various organisations to streamline the sugar industry and ensure that sugar farmers benefit from farming sugar cane and, more importantly, get paid for it. We are working closely with the leadership of the sugar-growing areas to license people who will work with the farmers in those areas. Therefore, at that juncture, the duty of the Agriculture Food Authority (AFA) is dramatically reduced. Hence, it is not necessary to engage as much as we want to engage with other crops. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
