    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. I represent sugar-cane farmers who are owed a lot of money by Government, because the milling company that owes them money is 99 per cent Government. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, during this recess, I would beseech the Government to avail that money to be paid out to the farmers who are owed the money, not just in Sony, but also in Muhoroni, Chemelil, Nzoia and Busia; and even Mumias, if they are owed money. Without the money, they become beggars, desperate, and they become unproductive. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, at the beginning of this Session, there was an attempt at reconstituting the Committees. I am glad my friend, hon. N.M.G. Nyagah, is here. We had pleaded with him very well, in spite of the fact that we look at things differently, to embrace the diversity in this House, both in terms of age, experience and regions, and include everybody in the Committees. Now that we are going for recess and some of us have not been considered to join those Committees, I am afraid that this House is being denied the richness of that diversity. With those remarks, I beg to support."
