    "content": "As I said, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the objective of the privatization exercise is threefold. One, is to enhance our crushing capacity which currently operates at between 30 and 40 per cent, occasioning complaints from farmers over over-mature cane. If you go to many parts of western Kenya, the biggest complaint from farmers is that cane that should have been harvested three or four years ago is still standing in their farms. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the second objective of the privatization exercise is to improve our technology. The technology we are using at our sugar factories at the moment is near obsolete. The technology that is being used in the rest of the world is posing a serious competition to our sugar industry. That technology not only facilitates the crushing of cane to produce sugar but, as the production of sugar is going on, you also produce electricity and ethanol."
