    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of the plight of the sugar-cane farmers is a very serious one. It is so unfortunate that a very important Bill like this one should have been frustrated. I do not know whether this was done by collusion, or a whole Professor was duped to hand over the authority granted to her by this House! In this year's Budget, they have factored in Kshs600 million to assist coffee farmers, Kshs600 million for pyrethrum farmers but not a penny for sugar-cane farmers! When the farmers in Mumias recently told the Government that the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) was a burden, they were told that they could uproot the sugar-cane and plant guavas instead. The attitude of the Assistant Minister shows that the Government deliberately frustrates the sugar-cane farmers, and that is the reason why they have failed to bring this Bill before this House. Could the Assistant Minister confirm that?"
