    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I have 3592 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 9, 2006 been pleading with the Members to see that linkage. Part of the linkage is what we have just deleted, and from their further arguments, they are about to de-link the vital or umbilical cord within the Kenya Sugar Board through which we can channel money from the Treasury. Let us look at this amendment in good faith. We negotiated these clauses with the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade and agreed to remove the levy from being borne by the farmers and make it a consumer tax. Now, the consumer tax becomes an exchequer issue. But how do we ensure that, that money goes back to the farmer in the development of the industry? Through amending the Act for the Kenya Sugar Board now to receive the grants from the Treasury through the Consolidated Fund. It is as simple as that. The farmers out there are listening and you will explain to them where their money went by your deletions."
