"content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. When the farmers in Busia, Nambale and Butula areas went into growing cane, they had a special interest. They wanted to maximise the profits of sugar-cane farming. Over the years, these farmers have lost money through deductions of Sugar Development Levy (SDL). Heavy deductions are made from their earnings by Mumias Sugar Company so as to meet the cost of haulage of cane over long distance, something which was not in receipt by the farmer. Since this was not the interest of the farmer, could he use Section 13 of the Sugar Act 2001, that compels the Kenya Sugar Board to compensate farmers if they are injured in any way including falling short of their interests?"
