    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You heard the Assistant Minister say here that there is almost nothing he can do to Mumias Sugar Company. Yet, in this Parliament, we passed the Sugar Act, 2001, which stipulates among other things, liability of the Board for damages. Section 13 says:- May 6, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 831 \"The provisions of Section 12 shall not relieve the Board of the liability to pay compensation to any person for any injury to him, his property or to any of his interests caused by the exercise of any power conferred by this Act or by the failure, whether wholly or partially, of any works.\" This law compels the miller to actually pay the farmer. So, since our farmers are actually not being paid, why can he not apply Section 13 of the Sugar Act, 2001, to make sure that the farmers are paid and the Chief Executive Officer honours that directive from the Government?"
