"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I take this opportunity to thank all the hon. Members who have contributed to this Motion. This is a very important Motion because what is happening in the sugar industry is affecting our poor farmers, particularly in western Kenya, where sugarcane is grown. I acknowledge the efforts being put by the Ministry of Agriculture to improve the lives of sugar-cane farmers. I know very well that payments to farmers have actually improved, appointment of professionals has been done and the Minister has said that he is going to clean the balance sheet to write off the debt. I want to inform the Minister that the debts owed by coffee and tea farmers and within the co-operative movement were written off without necessarily bringing a Sessional Paper here.
