    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Question touches mainly on Kakamega County that produces 80 per cent of the sugar consumed in this country. There are three major factories; Mumias Sugar Company, Butali Sugar Company and West Kenya Sugar Company. The shocking thing in the Assistant Minister’s response is that the terrain for all those companies is the same and Mumias Sugar Company has zoned. As you correctly said, the cane planting areas where the more you move away from the factory, the more you are charged for transport. Is he aware that whereas Mumias in zone one charges up to Kshs800 per tonne to transport sugar cane, Butali and West Kenya Sugar Company charge only Kshs390 for cane delivered from as far away as 60 kilometres, that is from Butali to Ikolomani? Could he harmonize this or justify? I wonder whether he is aware the terrain and roads are the same. Could he also undertake to familiarize himself with these facts on the ground, so that we save the farmers?"
