    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, he could just have informed me, but it is okay. May I clarify that point because I am not talking about theory? I am saying that Butali Sugar Company charged my neighbour in Malinya, over Kshs40 kilometers from Butali, Kshs390 per tonner for hauling cane to the factory. This is the case and yet Mumias Sugar Company which falls under Zone Zero or is in the neighbourhood hauls cane at Kshs677 per tonne. This is a complete rip off and the answer is that there should be no factor called “transport cost”. Why? Let the Minister think about it. The Minister comes from a cattle-rearing community. Some of her community members grow sugarcane. Imagine a situation where the Minister sells her cow to a butcher man who thanks her very much and then tells her that she should transport the cow to his butchery because he has paid her. That kind of economics does not exist. Basically, what we are doing is to ask the farmer who has planted cane to transport it in the same way that you expect the person who owns a cow and has sold it to a butcher to transport it."
