    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg your indulgence and that of the House. We are dealing with a very sensitive issue about sugar farmers who are out there. We just passed a law that says that KRA will collect the money and not the KSB. Currently, the KSB collects that money. We have shifted the responsibility to KRA. If we do not define how the money will move back to the farmers, the Government will collect money, keep it at the Treasury, but there will be no linkage on how it can get back to the farmer for development. So, let us create an avenue for that. Having agreed and passed that the KRA will collect the money, we must complete the path. That is what this amendment is trying to do. It is a very straightforward amendment that says that KRA has been allowed to collect the money. Once it collects it, it is put into the Consolidated Fund. That then becomes an Exchequer issue. Appropriation will be done by this House, and the money is passed on to the Board before being disposed to farmers."
