    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me pick from where Sen. Sifuna left. I would like to say this. Nandi is also part of the conversation we are having about privatization and leasing of sugar mills such as Chemelil Sugar Company Limited, West Kenya Sugar Factory and also those in Kericho. What we are calling for is accountability, public participation and dispensation of court processes that are already in place. It will be nice to engage. I am willing to sit there the way we did with the Oparanya Report on sugarcane reforms that gave birth to the Sugar Act. We are willing to sit and have that conversation for the betterment of farmers in Kenya. I request the Government not to be in a hurry because there will be a lot of legal hurdles that might affect this process. I know the Government gave sugarcane farmers some bonus. However, we need to have a conversation to make sure that process is concluded. Secondly, on the report by the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, we passed a one-off honorarium for former councilors. The Chairperson of the Committee on The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
