    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in Clause 4 it was proposed that the headquarters be in Nairobi. We have since had discussions with the stakeholders and we have agreed that that clause will be deleted during the Third Reading so that the headquarters be retained in Nakuru. There was no intention of moving the factory to Nakuru; it was just the office. But even the office can still remain in Nakuru and I think we have come to that agreement. There is also the issue of royalties. The rights belong to the PBK; we do not want to take that from them. But we want the farmers to be able to grow and sell this product just like it is happening in other industries so that they can benefit maximally from their sweat. That needs to be done so that farmers are also paid by those who are coming to invest in the industry because we do not want the farmers exploited any further. Those are things that will come during the Third Reading because we have had those discussions. I also want to thank the hon. Members who have also been very keen in what is provided in this Bill. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, let me say that during the Third Reading - and hon. Members are certainly aware of this - I want to repeat for the benefit of the Stakeholders, the concerns that they have had that perhaps called for a bit of resistance at the beginning will be addressed and amendments will be made to ensure that, that is done. With those remarks, I move and ask Mr. Njuguna to second."
